# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Set the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Roast the vegetable mixture for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
04 - While roasting, heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic for 1 minute, then add black beans and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
05 - If using, scramble the eggs in a separate pan until cooked through.
06 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
07 - Distribute roasted vegetables, black beans, and scrambled eggs (if using) evenly among tortillas. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, and chopped cilantro as desired.
08 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form burritos.
09 - For a crispy finish, toast burritos seam-side down in a skillet for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
