Mexican Mushroom and Spinach Sandwich (Vegan Torta)

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

Vegan Migas (Mexican-Style Fried Tortillas With Tofu)

On weekends, I want something for breakfast that I can really dig into—something that wouldn't feel out of place with a Bloody Mary or a michelada on the side. Enter vigas. That'd be vegan migas (and I'm only a little bit sorry for the terrible wordplay). Migas, the Tex-Mex dish of eggs scrambled with fried tortillas, onions, and chilies, is nearly ideal for veganizing because of the way the eggs are treated.

Breakfast Torta (Mexican Breakfast Sandwich with Eggs, Crispy Pork, and Beans)

A classic Mexican torta gets updated into the ultimate breakfast sandwich. Eggs, crispy fried pork, avocado, cotija cheese, and a spicy mayonnaise all served in a warm roll.

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.

Pueblan-Style Cemita Sandwiches

Cemitas are a Mexican sandwich that originally hails from the State of Puebla and gets its name from the bun itself, also known as a cemita. This recipe shows you how to make a Pueblan-style cemita with a fried milanesa beef, chicken, or pork cutlet filling. Loaded with fine strands of shredded Oaxacan cheese, plenty of ripe avocado, chipotles or pickled jalapeños, and papalo, a fragrant Mexican herb with a flavor all its own, it's a masterpiece of sandwich construction.

Breakfast Torta With Bacon, Eggs, and Chipotle Guacamole

Ham and eggs is a very common torta filling in Mexico, and for a good reason. The salty slices bring texture and loads of porkiness to the game, while the eggs help bulk it out. But you know what is crispier and more intense than ham? That's right. Bacon.

Pork Carnitas and Oaxaca Cheese Shooter's-Style Sandwich With Spicy Refried Beans and Pickled Red Onions

Mexican tortas are delicious, but messy. This sandwich, inspired by the same flavors, solves that problem by packing them all into a bread boat and pressing them under heavy weights until they form a single, intensely flavorful package with juicy pork, pickled onions, jalapeños, beans, and gooey melted Oaxaca cheese.

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.

Fried Eggplant Sandwich With Eggplant Mayo

After discovering how delicious eggplant-based mayonnaise is (or more accurately, after my wife confirmed it to me), I put two and two together and decided to make a fried eggplant sandwich smothered in rich tomato sauce, and drizzled with a mayonnaise made out of itself. Whoa, meta.

Fried-Avocado Tacos With Chipotle Cream, Cabbage, and Pickled Red Onions

Crisp-on-the-outside, creamy-in-the-middle, these beer-battered avocado slices are tucked into warm corn tortillas with cabbage, salsa verde, pickled red onions, and a creamy chipotle sauce. These are the most decadent vegetarian tacos you'll ever eat.
