Hi everybody. I'm kinda new to this message board thing but it seems really great. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about making really great mexican food using TVP or soy products. I really just need some tips on how to make it not taste like soy. and some spice ideas. I also can't tolerate Tostidos very well-although Heather writes in her book that they're usually okay. Do other brands of tortilla chips work for other people? THANKS!

Were you eating BAKED Tostitos? There's a big difference between the baked and the regular ones.
Or, you can always make your own. Try web page or web page

I agree, I totally can't tolerate regular corn chips, but the baked kinds are ok. When I make mexican type foods, I'll make like a burrito with fat free refried beans(not actually fried, don't worry), lots of rice that has been cooked in that taco flavoring powder for meat(gives it a yummy flavor!), salsa, and chopped tomatoes. Or I'll make bean tacos using flour tortillas with the fat free refried beans, lettuce, salsa, and some melted soy cheese.

You definitely have to try "Burrito Box" on Columbus around 57th. They have the very best soy cheese and tofu sour cream I've ever had. I go to school right there (Fordham Law) so it's a pretty frequent lunch stop for me. The taco shells are your normal fried, hard shells, but they tend not to bother me. You can also get soft tacos which just come in a flour tortilla and should be fine. Of course they have non-taco foods like burritos, etc, and they are all yummy. Across the street is "Lunch Box," obviously owned by the same people, and they have a lot of safe choices.
I've also managed to eat safely at taco bell. I get the grilled chicken taco, no cheese or sour cream. It's not my favorite but if I am there with other people I know I can find something safe.
