Pierce sweet potatoes with fork a few times. Place in microwave and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until cooked through. Alternatively, roast them in the oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until fork tender. Once cooked, remove the skins and mash in a medium bowl; set aside.

In a separate large bowl, add black beans, cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes, if desired. Stir to combine then set aside.

In a separate medium bowl, beat eggs (or egg whites) together. Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Add in eggs and cook, folding every few minutes to get fluffy eggs. Once cooked, remove from heat.

To assemble burritos, warm tortillas for 10-20 seconds in the microwave. Lay out warm tortillas and evenly distribute and spread mashed sweet potato on each. Evenly distribute scrambled eggs, diced avocado, black beans, and shredded cheese on each tortilla. Drizzle about a tablespoon of enchilada sauce in each. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Tuck ends in, then roll up burritos.

To warm up: Place on baking sheet in oven at 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes or microwave for a minute or two. Serve with sour cream, greek yogurt, salsa, or hot sauce.
