FAQ

Can I make this vegan?
Yes. Replace eggs with a plant-based alternative (tofu scramble or chickpea omelette) or omit eggs and add extra vegetables; the texture will be different.
How should I store leftovers and how long do they keep?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
Can I use other greens instead of spinach?
Yes, kale, Swiss chard, or arugula can work.
Can I scale the recipe to serve more people?
Yes. Multiply the ingredients and use a larger pan; make sure the potatoes finish cooking.
What nutrition does this dish provide?
It offers fiber from sweet potato and spinach, iron from spinach, polyphenols, and protein from eggs.
Are the tortillas gluten-free?

How should I adjust the salt and pepper?
Season to taste with salt and pepper; add more chili if you like heat.
What if the sweet potato isn’t tender after 10 minutes?
Cover and simmer longer, adding a splash of water if needed.
