For Breakfast Burrito Toppings
- 1 pound Sweet Potatoes cut into ⅓" dice
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- ¼ pound Italian Sausage casing removed
- ¼ pound Bacon
- ¼ pound Ham cut into ¼" pieces
- ¾ pounds Shredded Cheddar Cheese
For Scrambled Eggs
- 8 large Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Water or milk
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
To Prepare the Toppings
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Sweet Potatoes: Place diced tomatoes in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until well-coated. Spread the diced sweet potatoes onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Sausage: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the Italian sausage with about 2 tablespoons of water. Use a spatula to break up the pieces of the sausage and cook until no longer pink, for about 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Set aside.
Bacon: Cut the bacon into ½" pieces and cook in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the bacon bits are golden and a little crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Set aside.
Scrambled Eggs: Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl, add about 2 Tablespoons of water or milk, salt and pepper and whisk aggressively. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the beaten eggs and cook over medium low. When the edges start to set, use a spatula to stir the eggs, cooking until there are big pillowy folds and the eggs are still a little glossy. Remove the eggs from the heat and set aside.
How to assemble Breakfast Burritos
Heat a large griddle over medium high heat and add a tortilla. Let warm for about 1 minute, then flip and warm the other side for about 45 seconds. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm, then repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Cut parchment paper into 12" squares and place a piece of parchment paper between each tortilla. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the scrambled eggs, sweet potatoes, sausage, bacon and diced ham, mixing gently.
Place about ½ cup of the filling into the center of a tortilla, then sprinkle with cheese. Fold both edges of the tortilla in about 2" then roll into a burrito. Wrap each breakfast burrito in the parchment paper you used to separate each tortilla. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Serve warm with salsa, or freeze for later. Enjoy!
