Scrambled Egg and Sweet Potato Breakfast Burritos

I've never been much of a breakfast person.

When I was a kid my dad was mildly obsessed with buffets. If we ever went out to eat it had to be a buffet. Most often: Big Boy. And on that note, side story:

We always, ALWAYS vacationed. More specifically we almost always went to or through Tennessee. And on those trips we ALWAYS ate at Shoney's. 

And I don't mean we patronized one Shoney's during our trip to satisfy a sense of nostalgia. 

No. 

We ate EVERY SINGLE MEAL at Shoney's. Why? 

Reason #1: My dad.

Reason #2: Buffet. 

By the end of the trip my mom and sister and I would have rather eaten gum off the ground than eat at another Shoney's. 

Okay, back to breakfast.

So as a kid, whenever we went out to breakfast I would always order two things and two things only: bacon and hash browns. (Honestly what more could you want?) The hash browns would be completely doused in ketchup, and the bacon would be picked apart until every last ounce of squishy bacon fat was completely removed. My dad was always all, "QUIT PICKING YOUR BACON!" It drove him nuts.

I've learned to enjoy breakfast a little more. ESPECIALLY if cheese and cilantro are involved. And quite honestly, I usually eat these for lunch. 

Make a batch of homemade tortillas, fill them with roasted sweet potatoes, scrambled egg, and tons of feta and cilantro. 

I'm of the opinion that cheese and sweet potatoes (ok and cilantro) can be combined with just about everything and it will be delicious. 

I'm just sayin.

Scrambled Egg and Sweet Potato Breakfast Burritos

3-4 large eggs

2 tbsp milk

salt and pepper, to taste

Warm the tortillas. Add a serving of sweet potato and scrambled egg. Garnish (heavily) with feta and cilantro. Makes 4-5 breakfast burritos. 

Add bacon to it. You know you want to.

Sweet Potato with Feta and Cilantro

I could eat roasted vegetables every day of my life. Roasting vegetables is about as easy as it gets and they almost always turn out perfect and delicious. What more could you want in a meal?

Sweet potatoes are great smashed with brown sugar and butter...but nothing beats them roasted. I usually just chop them up and toss with some olive oil and seasonings. But here's the thing... I'm completely obsessed with cilantro and feta. I keep trying to find meals I can add them to.

So one day I made sweet potatoes, and in an attempt to have everything I want on one plate, I decided to add cilantro and feta. 

Best. Decision. Ever.

The combination of flavors are SO good together. 

So. Go in the kitchen, roast some potatoes, and put feta and cilantro on top. You won't regret it. 

Sweet Potato with Feta and Cilantro

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed

1-2 tbsp olive oil

salt, pepper, and garlic powder 

feta

cilantro

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

Toss the potatoes, oil, and seasonings in a bowl until completely coated. Layer on a cookie sheet (I usually cover the sheet with tin foil for easy clean up) and bake for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender. 

Top with feta and cilantro. Eat. Love. 

How can you not want to eat that?
