Healthy Roasted Sweet Potato Breakfast Burritos

Healthy Roasted Sweet Potato Breakfast Burrito Recipe done in 20 minutes and the perfect breakfast for dinner meal

Breakfast for dinner is such a great option, but truth be told, if I try to pass pancakes, waffles, or french toast off as dinner my kids give me the side-eye. I guess I’ve set them up for too high of dinner expectations because they don’t consider “breakfast foods” to be legitimate dinner fare. The few times I tried to tell them that cold cereal was dinner I had a full riot on my hand. There were literal tears being shed for my lack of a proper dinner. What’s wrong with them?! Who doesn’t love pancakes for dinner? That being said, I can get away with serving this awesome breakfast burrito recipe without complaint; it must be the tortilla!

I love this recipe because it’s easy and inexpensive to make. It takes about 30 minutes to put together, I generally have all of the ingredients on hand, it’s full of vegetables, and it costs just over a dollar per burrito (!!!). Seriously, real food for a buck, sign me up! I used organic eggs and tortillas too which count for something in my book.

I love just about anything in a tortilla but these are perfect for a few reason. The roasted sweet potato are sweet and creamy and go so nicely with a little bit of smoky salty bacon. I love all things eggs (thank you backyard chickens!). Avocado is its own food group and anything that you can put a little salsa on is my jam.

Tips and Tricks for making quick, easy, and healthy breakfast burritos:

• If you are going to roast one sweet potato, you might as well roast a second on the same pan… I like to throw the roasted sweet potato in salads later or in eggs in the morning. It’s always nice to have some already cooked in the fridge.
• This is also delicious with some crumbled cooked bacon in it.
• A sprinkle of cheese is also delicious in these!

Description

Quick, easy, and healthy breakfast burritos made with roasted sweet potatoes, eggs, avocado and bacon.

---

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
• Olive oil
• Salt
• 8 eggs
• Chopped bell peppers
• Grated cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
• Diced avocado
• Freshly cooked tortillas

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the chopped sweet potato on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle it with olive oil (about a tablespoon). Use your hands to toss the sweet potatoes a bit so that they get coated with the oil. Sprinkle well with salt. Bake until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, scramble and cook the eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. To make your breakfast burritos add some roasted sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, bell pepper, cheese, and avocado to a warm cooked tortilla and enjoy. This is also excellent with a salsa verde. My kids like ketchup in their breakfast burrito.
