Sweet potatoes and black beans are my new favorite combination. I tried this combo out when we were eating vegetarian for a few months. It was a good run but we eventually started adding meat back into our diets. We still eat meatless meals quite often though, and I love the challenge of creating delicious vegetarian recipes.

For these Vegan Sweet Potato and Black Bean Breakfast Burritos, I season the sweet potatoes with chili powder, cumin, and cayenne. This creates a sweet, salty, savory flavor that is super tasty. The black beans add a meaty texture, while the sweet potatoes are silky and buttery.

This is a great vegan breakfast option, even though I like mine with sour cream … (again we are not vegan, but enjoy eating plant based meals.)

I call this recipe a breakfast burrito, but really you can enjoy it anytime of day.

Can you freeze them? Yes! I have a batch in my freezer right now. To reheat them I recommend using the oven. Bake them for around 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees or until the center has thawed. You could microwave them if you are in a hurry, but the tortilla gets a little tough. I do this if I’m in a hurry and need to take it with me and it still tasted good!

I made vegan sweet potato black bean breakfast burritos for my mom because she can’t eat eggs, dairy, or oats (allergies…). It’s really hard for her to find items she can eat for breakfast. She fell in love with them immediately.
