Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

  3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven until they are tender and browned, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow them to cool to room temperature.

  4. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the eggs begin to set, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are no longer runny, which should take about 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

  8. Wrap the tortillas in a dishcloth and microwave them for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until they are pliable.

  9. To assemble each burrito, spread about ¼ cup of sweet potatoes, ⅓ cup of scrambled eggs, ¼ cup of black beans, and 2 tablespoons of chorizo in a horizontal line across the middle of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches on either side.
