The story of these breakfast burritos begins in the kitchens of Mexico, where the humble tortilla has been a staple for centuries. The filling of these burritos is inspired by the classic Mexican dish of huevos rancheros, which features eggs cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. However, we've lightened up the huevos rancheros filling by using ground turkey instead of beef, and by using a dairy-free cheese sauce instead of sour cream. The result is a breakfast burrito that is both flavorful and healthy. I first developed this recipe for my family, and it quickly became a favorite. My kids love the sweet potatoes and the flavorful ground turkey, and I love that it's a healthy and easy way to get them to eat their vegetables. I've also served these burritos to friends and family, and they've always been a hit. Everyone loves the combination of flavors and textures, and the fact that they're so easy to make.
