Your mom always told you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and she was right.

My teenagers are not big fans of coco puffs and lucky charms like most kids. Usually upon awaking my kids say, "Mom, I want a substantial breakfast!"

What could be better than quick and tasty Tex Mex "Breakfast Burritos". Breakfast burritos are very versatile and can be made with with any items you like- the sky is the limit. In addition, you can make extra and freeze them and just heat and serve on those busy school mornings. As a tribute to my Japanese Sensei (teacher), who requested some nostalgic dishes from the States- this recipe for Breakfast Burritos is for you...

TEX MEX is a word used to describe a regional type of American cuisine that combines the food products available in the USA along with the delicious dishes from the Mexican- Americans whom were influenced by the cuisines in Mexico. Texas, as it is nearest to the border, is probably one of the most popular states with many TEX MEX dishes. TEX MEX dishes are usually characterized by its heavy use of melted cheese, ground beef, beans, spices, salsa and spices which is very different from dishes in Mexico or Spain.

Finding a proper TEX MEX restaurant in Asia is an ongoing struggle, but one restaurant in Hong Kong with a bit of novelty is "Mr Taco Truck". The name says it all... This restaurant started out in Hong Kong from the back of a truck. However, as his business grew, he kept the spirit of his success in the design of his restaurant- in the shape of "Mr. Taco Truck"... Mr Taco Truck is located in Shop E, 22 Finnie Street, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong (Next to MTR exit B). As you can see it is only alfresco dining with a few chairs but it very yummy and a must do on your list of places to visit in Hong Kong.
