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.

Amy’s Kitchen says: Teriyaki occupies a special place in Japanese cookery. Amy’s variation of the traditional recipe lends an intriguing sweet and sour flavor to the organic brown rice, tender vegetables, and marinated tofu that make up this great-tasting non-dairy, gluten free bowl. And while you’re preparing Amy’s Teriyaki Bowl you might also brew a pot of green tea. Then sit down, relax and enjoy your meal. Non-dairy/gluten-free.

Amy (at the office) says: This review could be summed up in one word, that word is “mediocre”. For the first time in my life I was disappointed in that came out of Amy’s Kitchen.

Amy usually treats me right and that was why I was so gung-ho about her teriyaki bowl. The box does accurately describe the product, it has brown rice, and a melee of vegetables, but there is just no zing, in fact it was bland. I am glad they didn’t list “flavor” as part of the content b/c it certainly lacked it. They threw water chestnuts in the mix and it begs me to ask the question “Who actually likes those things?”, not I said the brown cow. That said, I highly recommend every other Amy’s product I have sampled, just steer clear of the Terri-“yucky” (sorry, I had to) bowl.

Amy’s Kitchen says: Amy’s Mexican Tamale Pie is made from organic pinto beans, organic corn, organic zucchini and organic crushed tomatoes, mildly seasoned and covered with a light organic corn meal polenta topping.

Kate says: Amy’s Mexican Tamale Pie doesn’t even need cheese to be delicious! This is vegan frozen food at it’s finest. It is the perfect blend of beans, veggies and light spices with a delicious corn meal crust. The veggies still have a little crunch to them, making it seem fresh rather than frozen. My only complaint is that the portion is not larger. I need to have supplemental food to make a complete lunch.
