Vegan Sweet Potato Black Bean Breakfast Burrito cut open this Recipe!

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.)

Vegan Swwet Poatao Black Bean Breakfast Burritos

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.

These Vegan Sweet Potato and Black Bean Breakfast Burritos are:

  • Sweet and Savory
  • Easy to travel with
  • A great meal prep option
  • Delicious!

        I made this yesterday! The sweetness of the creamy sweet potatoes went perfectly with the spices. I added some baby spinach leaves to the burritos for "health". Thanks for the recipe 🙂

    So my wife and I are trying some new recipes to be healthier. This was one that stood out. One question I have is do you know about how much sweet potato goes into a burrito?

    The reason I ask is I log my food into MyFitnessPal app and just wanted to continue to log this meal.

      Hey! I usually do about 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes and 1/4 cup black beans. Depending on the size of your tortilla you can add more or less!

    How long do these keep in the freezer? And, can you let them thaw before consumption? Thanks ?

      I would say no longer than 6 months... you can thaw them before you heat up again, but I just pop mine in the microwave frozen for a few minutes.

        What about reheating in the oven or small toaster oven? I got rid of my microwave

          Both would work perfectly. I'm a big fan of using the toaster for reheating if the burrito fits! We use our toaster all the time to reheat breakfast burritos, pancakes, and waffles.
