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.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
