Mucho Tex-Mex

After some initial qualms about returning to veganism, in particularly the difficulty of doing so when surrounded by a Tex-Mex loving, omnivorous family, I'm happy to report it's going really well. Much easier than I thought. And that includes Tex-Mex. Because we do eat a lot of it.

If frozen margaritas weren't vegan, I would be so screwed though.

Guacamole soft tacos. The rice is also vegan. The refritos I'm not sure about, because I don't eat them anyway.

Cheers to vegan Tex-Mex!

Sofritas

Chipotle was recently doing a buy-1-get-1 promotion for their new tofu sofritas. I had never eaten at Chipotle before. But I love tofu and I love free food, so I stopped by and picked up a sofritas bowl. It was huge, made two meals for me. The sofritas are basically shredded tofu seasoned with Mexican spices. I appreciated the guacamole scooper's heavy hand, and the whole thing was delicious. I'm looking forward to returning to Chipotle with my receipt to get another one for free.
