Amy’s Kitchen says: This typical Mexican meal combines Amy’s popular Black Bean Enchilada and Sauce with organic pinto beans and Spanish rice accented with organic sweet corn and green peppers. It’s non-dairy, gluten free, contains surprisingly little fat and is, of course, absolutely delicious.

Abi says: This meal does not contain cheese, thus I cannot consider it an enchilada. Sure, typical Mexican meals do not contain cheese, but this is not Mexico. This is America and we eat cheese. Also, there should be some sort of tofu disclosure on the front of the box.

Ok, I am now going to eat a vegan enchilada.

The box instructed me to heat the meal for five minutes. I went for 4.5 and my meal came out of the microwave a little crisp. Perhaps you can see the crust on the beans. I also lost a lot of enchilada sauce to the crusting effect. This is rather unfortunate, as this meal is bland. Bland, bland, bland. While it wasn’t detestable or disgusting, the black bean enchilada meal isn’t delectable either. If you’ve ever lived on food stamps or government aid, this meal will bring you back to those days. Also, if you enjoy eating multiple varieties of beans in one meal, you will enjoy this dish. I didn’t enjoy the black bean enchilada and will never consume it again.

See, I really like this meal. This meal is my (distant) second-favorite, behind the butternut squash ravioli. But I’m a beany-and-tofuy sort of person so perhaps that makes a difference.

I’ve never had the whole meal, but the enchiladas by themselves aren’t bad. You can get 2 (under the Trader Joe’s name) for $1.99.

Obviously, you are a fucking moron.

qualifies you for cretin of the year.

It’s not the greatest meal ever, but it’s fine. And since I’m a vegan I don’t want the cheese. And it says VEGAN on the box.

Sheesh. Why anyone would listen to you, I have no idea.
