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
oh i'm saucing it up for sure with some habanero stuff i've been into. might try to keep some queso or something similar around to add in as well
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
