Enchiladas!


Modification to a Food Network recipe. Used tofu instead of chicken and added black beans. Substituted mole for enchilada sauce. No cheese, but still tasty. Used excess stuffing as a topping.

Soyrizo


Dinner for me and Chris: soyrizo and potato tacos. Cooked soyrizo until crispy, then stir-fried garlic, onions, green peppers, and potatoes. Seasoned with pepper, salt, paprika, and cumin. Served with corn tortillas and salsa.

Can't take the credit for this one.
