Chef's Note
For meal prep, make the sweet potato and bean mixture ahead of time and store separately from the tortilla. In the morning, quickly scramble the egg whites, reheat the mixture, and assemble your burrito for a nutritious breakfast in minutes. The lime juice not only adds flavor but helps prevent the avocado from browning.
