I made these tonight as I had some accidently over-roasted walnuts I added into it after the initial baking period. Even with this alteration it was delicious! I used some jalapeno rather than the abodo chiles. With some Daiya cheese, salsa, black beans and guacamole on top they were grubbin' as we used to say.

I make this once a week. My husband and I love it. He thinks it tastes like real meat which is saying a lot. Anyway I forgot to get walnuts today. I’m guessing it won’t be the same without them?? Are they needed to get that consistency? Thanks!

I made this with the few walnuts I had on hand and subbed in roasted, no salt pistachios for the balance. It was yummy!!!!

I saw this on your instagram and I already made it for my family over the weekend.  It was a hit!  They were skeptical at first, but everyone happily ate it.  I bought some more cauliflower this morning so I can make another batch to have in the fridge this week.  Yum!

Can you use frozen riced cauliflower for this

As soon as this recipe hit my inbox, I was off to the store to get the ingredients. This was SO EASY to make and it came together really fast! My ever-skeptical-of-vegan-food mother rolled her eyes when she saw the recipe, scoffing "I don't see how that could possibly taste good". When it was all done I was able to persuade her to try "just a bite" and  WOW! Both of us were plowing through the meatless delight faster than Grant took Richmond (as my Grammy says). Such a brilliant, easy and delicious recipe. THANK YOU for sharing this. I can't wait to feed everyone I know with this, I'm practically giddy! 
(I made it with all the optional add-ins and it was scrumptious)

Ammmaaaazzzeee!!!! OMG. Your photography just seriously makes me fall over in my chair, along with these recipes! I'm gluten free and LOVE being able to find hearty gluten free meals for big strong non gluten free hubby and I am SOOOO making this!!!! Love!
