Steps:
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Spray 3 silicone ice cube stick molds with four 2 1/2-ounce cavities with nonstick spray.
- Add the bacon and Cheddar to one of the prepared molds, dividing the ingredients evenly among the 4 cavities. Add the chorizo, bell pepper and red onion to the second prepared mold, dividing the ingredients evenly among the 4 cavities.
- Whisk together the whole eggs, 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large liquid measuring cup. Pour the egg mixture over the filling in the 2 molds, dividing it evenly among the 8 cavities.
- Add the spinach and Parmesan to the third prepared mold, dividing the ingredients evenly among the 4 cavities. Whisk together the egg whites, remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large liquid measuring cup. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, dividing it evenly among the 4 cavities.
- Cut three 5 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch pieces of aluminum foil and spray one side with nonstick spray. Cover each mold with a piece of foil sprayed-side down.
- Add 1 1/4 cups water to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Stack the covered molds on top of each other--in alternating directions--on top of the steamer rack and carefully transfer the rack and molds to the pot using the handles. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 15 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
- Let the eggs cool slightly before inverting onto a work surface. Roll each egg tube in a tortilla, wrap in aluminum foil and label. Transfer the wrapped burritos to 2 gallon-size resealable freezer plastic bags (6 in each) and seal. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, unwrap the burrito, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave, rotating halfway through, until warm, about 4 minutes. Serve with your favorite topping--hot sauce, salsa or ketchup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Roast sweet potatoes until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into pan and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until they begin to set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over eggs and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are no longer runny, 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Wrap tortillas in a dish cloth and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until pliable. To assemble each burrito: Spread about ¼ cup sweet potatoes, ⅓ cup scrambled eggs, ¼ cup black beans and 2 tablespoons chorizo in a horizontal line across the middle of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches on either side. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Fold left and right sides over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom of the tortilla to form a burrito. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas, and freeze for up to 1 month. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to three days.
- To serve: Remove burrito from plastic or foil and place on a plate in the microwave. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, until filling is hot and tortilla is tender. Serve immediately with your choice of hot sauce or salsa. If reheating from the refrigerator, microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before beginning, ensure all your ingredients are washed, chopped, and measured. This will expedite the cooking process and prevent any scrambling during assembly.
- Choose your preferred fillings: The beauty of these burritos lies in their versatility. Experiment with different fillings to suit your taste. From classic eggs, bacon, and cheese to vegetarian options like sautéed vegetables and tofu, the possibilities are endless.
- Cook your fillings thoroughly: To prevent soggy burritos, ensure your fillings are cooked through before assembling. This not only enhances the flavor but also prevents any potential foodborne illnesses.
- Use high-quality tortillas: The quality of your tortillas will significantly impact the final product. Opt for fresh, pliable tortillas that won't tear easily.
- Fold and wrap tightly: Once assembled, fold and wrap your burritos tightly to prevent any fillings from spilling out during cooking. You can use parchment paper or aluminum foil for this purpose.
