# Directions:

01 - Set oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes, red onion, and bell pepper with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Arrange the vegetable mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized.
04 - While vegetables roast, heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Add black beans and cook for 3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
05 - If using, scramble eggs in a separate skillet until fully cooked.
06 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and flexible.
07 - Distribute roasted vegetables, black beans, and scrambled eggs (if using) evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, and chopped cilantro as desired.
08 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly to encase the filling.
09 - For a crisp finish, toast burritos seam-side down in a skillet for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
