- 1
Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- 2
Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
- 3
Roast the sweet potatoes until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool to room temperature.

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until they start to set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the eggs are no longer runny, about 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Wrap the tortillas in a dish cloth and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until pliable. To assemble each burrito: Spread about 1/4 cup sweet potatoes, 1/3 cup scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup black beans, and 2 tablespoons chorizo in a horizontal line across the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches on both sides. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa verde.
- 6
Fold the left and right sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom of the tortilla to form a burrito. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, and freeze for up to 1 month. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- 7
To serve: Remove the burrito from the plastic or foil and place it on a plate in the microwave. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, until the filling is hot and the tortilla is tender. Serve immediately with your choice of hot sauce or salsa. If reheating from the refrigerator, microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
