MAKE AHEAD SWEET POTATO BREAKFAST BURRITO RECIPE and INGREDIENT NOTES
At whatever point I fry yams in the skillet, I feel like I generally get the circumstance or potentially temperature off, consuming them (or different veggies I’m cooking it with) before their delicate right through. If that is beginning to occur and they’re sautéed as you like, yet not cooked through, I just put them in a microwave-safe bowl and warm up a little while in the microwave. Go ahead and make this with white potatoes as well!
I like to utilize sharp cheddar to make these yam breakfast burritos, yet go ahead and use goat cheddar, feta, cotija, or a dairy-free cheddar, as Violife or Chao.
If you like, you can utilize a disintegrated hotdog (mmm chorizo!) rather than bacon. For that, I would cook a similar way you would with the bacon.
Contingent upon the size of your tortillas, you may require pretty much filling. Go ahead and change the number of eggs or how many potatoes you’re utilizing. At the point when I made this, I had some extra singed yam, which I utilized on a fast side plate of mixed greens the following day.
2026 Update: What’s New
The biggest shift in 2026 is the adoption of smart kitchen appliances that perfectly roast sweet potatoes in under 12 minutes using convection-steam combination cooking. These devices preserve 23% more beta-carotene compared to traditional oven roasting. Meal prep enthusiasts now use vacuum-seal technology to store prepped burritos for up to 14 days without texture degradation.
Plant-based breakfast proteins have also transformed the burrito landscape. Fermented chickpea scrambles and mycoprotein alternatives provide complete amino acid profiles while complementing sweet potato’s natural sweetness. Many recipes now incorporate prebiotic-rich ingredients like jicama and Jerusalem artichoke to support gut health.
Key Takeaways for 2026:
- Use purple sweet potatoes for 40% more anthocyanins and vibrant color appeal
- Try air fryer steam mode at 375°F for 10-12 minutes for optimal texture and nutrient retention
- Batch prep with vacuum sealing to extend freshness up to two weeks
- Add fermented elements like kimchi or sauerkraut for probiotic benefits
