Tightly roll the tortilla into a burrito. Place “seam-down” on the pan. Continue until you use all the tortillas and sweet potato mixture.
  2. Bake for 30 minutes until light golden brown on top. Drizzle with vegan cheese sauce, garnish with cilantro and green onion.
  3. Leave to cool, wrap and place in a freezer safe container to freeze.
