THAI TOFU BURRITOS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Thai Tofu Burritos with Peanut Sauce image

This recipe was inspired by a tofu burrito that I tried at a local restaurant. It is the perfect combination of flavors: salty, sweet, and a little bit of spice. The peanut sauce is very close to Molly Katz's recipe. They are yummy!
