While growing up, our breakfast was typical Indian stuff and I can safely say that we did not try any other cuisine at home. After moving to the US, the lack of Indian stores and restaurants prompted me to cook dishes from a variety of cuisines and the family is particularly fond of Mexican and Italian. Breakfast burritos are typically made with eggs and potatoes. I decided to use tofu that was made using this recipe instead of eggs. Since tofu is rich in protein, it makes for a perfect egg substitute if you do not eat eggs. Breakfast burritos were introduced to me during an office potluck and it has become my favorite since. The filling is versatile and you can use frozen hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, etc. The burritos were served with a side of colored pepper salsa and it was an instant hit. Off to the recipe.
