Description

Kickstart your morning with these vibrant Sweet Potato and Kale Breakfast Burritos, filled with creamy avocado and wholesome ingredients for a nutritious boost.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups fresh kale, chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  3. Sauté the Kale: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and sauté for about 5 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Assemble Your Burritos: In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed kale. Warm the tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave to make them pliable. Scoop generous portions of the filling onto each tortilla.
  5. Add Avocado: Place slices of avocado on top of the filling in each burrito. Sprinkle additional salt if desired.
  6. Roll It Up: Fold in the edges of each tortilla and roll tightly to secure all ingredients inside. Serve immediately or wrap for later enjoyment.
