I’ve been trying out Textured Vegetable Protein in these “burrito bowls” I do (literally just rice + beans + protein and some seasoning/sauce) and I don’t think it’s for me. Sawdusty vibes tbh.

Out of the three other meat alternatives I put in the title what would you recommend? I’m leaning towards tofu because it’s somewhat familiar but the whole “pressing” situation seems annoying

    I add raw onions, seeds, hot sauce, avocado if I have some, some vegan sour cream, it really all comes together. Whole beans are nice, but so are refried! I dunno, maybe I’m weird mob-bashful

        That works! I use some homemade fermented fresno sauce these days

        Also, don’t be afraid to add tahini, actually really good if you thin it out a bit with garlic, lemon, and water
