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

But for burrito bowls, I almost always just use beans and rice, and maybe mushrooms.

in that case it'd just be beans and rice (i'm not a mushroom head sadly) which feels a little sad. maybe if i switch from refried beans to whole beans like black or pinto it'd feel less gruel-like

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

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

Definitely make beans from scratch if you can. I prefer black beans over pinto but both are good. Lentils are easiest with zero presoak time and 25 minute cook time
