- Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir until evenly distributed.
- Take a taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Roll up the tortillas, tucking in the sides to make burritos.
- Place the rolled burritos in a baking dish, seam side down.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the burritos from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado, salsa, or fresh cilantro.
Tips:
