Burrito with sautéed tofu

Dinners like this are so fun to serve and make. I had a box of tofu in the refrigerator which needed to be used up. I asked my lil one what to make for dinner and he says – pizza or taco/burrito. I took his second option. Now I had to cook the tofu in such a way that none of them can figure out it is tofu, as they are all not a big fan of tofu. Came up with the recipe below and the tofu turned out very tasty. This was layered into the many other fillings – guacamole, pico de gallo, Mexican cheese blend, corn bell pepper fajitas, and yogurt sauce on the warm tortillas. Before wrapping up the burrito I also sprinkled a few crumbled pieces of the flax seed tortilla chips (not in pic)for crunch.. it was the best burrito loaded with veggies 😊.
