"Chorizo" Tacos From 'The VB6 Cookbook'

When it comes to vegan recipes, I usually stay far, far away from anything that uses quotation marks in its name. I'm happy to eat a plate of vegan food—rice, beans, and vegetables are some of my favorite things to eat. Once "meat" and "cheese" get involved, meals tend to get a little weird. So I approached Mark Bittman's "chorizo" tacos in his new VB6 Cookbook with some trepidation.

Migas With Scrambled Eggs, Tortilla Chips, & Chiles

The Tex-Mex version of migas—scrambled eggs cooked with chile peppers, onion, and tortilla chips, then served on tortillas with hot sauce—is a hangover killer, but even if you haven't overindulged, it's still a killer breakfast option.

Doritos Migas With Pepper Jack, Tomatoes, and Jalapeño

There are days when you wake up and say, I'm going to painstakingly make the best damn Tex-Mex migas I possibly can. And then there are days when you pry yourself from bed, feel your head swirl and split as you sit up, and remember those last two rounds of shots you got roped into—after you had already had what was supposed to be your last drink. On those days, you need these quick and easy Doritos migas. Actually, you might need these on all days.

Vegan Chorizo for Omnivores

I wanted to make a vegan chorizo recipe that doesn't just come close to regular chorizo in the flavor department, but outright nails it. I wanted a meat-free chorizo with textural contrast up the wazoo, and a chorizo that changes texture as you cook it just like its meat-based counterpart. I wanted a chorizo that is tangy, rich, and complex.

Turkish-Style Vegan Tofu Scramble (Vegan Menemen)

Menemen—eggs scrambled with olive oil, onions, chilies, and tomatoes—is traditionally made by slow-cooking onions and hot chilies in olive oil, then seasoning them with dried chilies and oregano and stewing them with tomatoes. The eggs go in at the last moment and are cooked until just barely set. With so many strong flavors and a texture easily captured by silken tofu, it works great as a vegan breakfast.

Mexican Mushroom and Spinach Sandwich (Vegan Torta)

A hearty sandwich packed with greens and mushrooms, refried beans, pickled red onions, and spicy pickled jalapeños.

Loaded Crispy Tofu Tacos

These crispy tofu tacos may sound weird but after you experience this ultimate vegetarian taco, these crispy tofu tacos may sway you to the vegetarian side!

Spanish-Style Migas With Chorizo, Peppers, and Kale

Take a page out of the Spanish shepherding culinary repertoire, and make a meal this traditional Spanish tapa out of crispy breadcrumbs, chorizo, and hearty vegetables.

Vegan Chickpea Cakes with Mashed Avocado

These vegan falafel-esque patties made with chickpeas and bulgur wheat have a crunchy breadcrumb and are served with mashed avocado for a rich and creamy texture.
