Instructions

Cook sweet potatoes: Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork a few times. Place in microwave and cook on high for 4-6 minutes or until cooked through, which may take up to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Alternatively, roast in the oven at 400°F for 45 minutes. Once cooked, remove the skins, place potatoes in a medium bowl, and mash with a fork. Set aside.
Prepare black beans: In a separate large bowl, combine rinsed and drained black beans with cumin and chili powder. Stir thoroughly and set aside.
Cook egg whites: Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-low. Pour in the liquid egg whites and cook, folding gently every few minutes to create fluffy eggs. Once fully cooked, remove from heat.
Warm tortillas: Warm the tortillas for 10-20 seconds in the microwave to make them pliable and easier to roll.
Assemble burritos: Lay out the warm tortillas. Evenly spread mashed sweet potato on each tortilla, followed by a layer of cooked egg whites, black bean mixture, diced avocado, and a drizzle of about 2 tablespoons of salsa. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Fold in the ends and roll up tightly to form burritos.
Heat burritos: To warm the assembled burritos, place them on a baking sheet and heat in the oven at 300°F for 5-10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Serve: Serve the burritos warm with optional sides like sour cream, Greek yogurt, additional salsa, or hot sauce.

Notes

These breakfast burritos are packed with protein and fiber, making them a healthy way to start your day.
Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent them from breaking.
You can roast the sweet potatoes in advance to save time in the morning.
Feel free to customize the burritos with your favorite toppings such as cheese or hot sauce.
For a vegan version, substitute egg whites with tofu scramble.
