Instructions

Notes
Storage: Keep any leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
When selecting sweet potatoes, look for ones that are firm and free of blemishes for the best flavor. Feel free to customize these burritos by adding your favorite toppings, such as avocado, hot sauce, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
If you have leftovers, store the filling separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave before assembling your burritos for a quick breakfast!
