The sweetness from the sweet potatoes is the perfect complement to the spicy chorizo inside these make-ahead burritos. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze. Take one out of the freezer and thaw in the fridge overnight for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes , scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 greens onions , chopped

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Meanwhile, cook chorizo in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat; transfer chorizo to a bowl and set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet and return it to the stove.

5
Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Heat butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in eggs and scramble until just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape scrambled eggs into a clean bowl and let cool.

Line up tortillas in assembly-line fashion. Divide chorizo between 8 tortillas. Top each with a portion of sweet potato-onion mixture, scrambled eggs, 1 tablespoon salsa, and queso fresco. Fold the bottom of each tortilla up over filling, then fold in both sides and roll up burritos.

Flip burritos so they are seam-side down. Wrap each individually with aluminum foil and place into a resealable plastic bag.

Go-To Crawfish Etouffee
This recipe was (after much prodding) given to me by a friend. The soup seems an odd addition, but replaces the traditional roux -- and the end result is nothing short of wonderful. Serve over rice or linguine.
