Parboil sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes.

Add corn starch to the sweet potatoes.

Heat canola or vegetable oil in a pan.

Ladle sweet potatoes into the oil for frying, ensuring an even coating but not too thick.

Fry sweet potatoes for about 2-3 minutes until a crisp begins to form, then remove them from the oil.

Increase the heat of the oil and add the sweet potatoes back in to get a final crisp.

Cook the eggs in a cast iron pan with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Add chorizo to the pan with the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Heat the chorizo and eggs together until warmed through.

Warm the tortilla to make it bendy for rolling.

Add the egg and chorizo mixture to the tortilla along with Monterey Jack cheese, scallions, and sweet potato poppables.

Roll the burrito by lifting one side towards you, tucking the filling in, and folding the sides over before rolling it completely.

Serve with sour cream and sriracha on the side.
