03 - While vegetables roast, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
04 - Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and gently stir until eggs are just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

07 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
08 - Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper and place in resealable freezer bags for storage.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get six breakfasts ready in under an hour with almost zero morning effort
  • The sweet potato and egg combo keeps you full straight through lunch without feeling heavy
02 -
  • Let the roasted vegetables cool slightly before assembling or the steam will make your tortillas soggy
  • Do not overfill the burritos or they will burst during reheating and you will end up with a mess
03 -
  • Cut your sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes so they all roast at the same speed
  • Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting
