Amy’s Tofu Ranchero Breakfast
Posted by: Meg Ewen
USER SUBMITTED REVIEW
Slit overwrap microwave for 5 min.
When I took this out of the microwave I was immediately hit with the smell of refried beans and that’s before I even removed it from the plastic. I don’t think the picture does this dish justice, but it has to be one of the most revolting dishes I have ever looked at (and still planned on eating). The refried beans looked like runny dog poop, the tofu/cheese/corn mix looked like a science experiment gone bad. The potatoes, however, looked rather good.

On to the taste…yes, even after that lovely description, I still planned on tasting it. It is AMY’s, after all. The refried beans had decent texture, not too runny and were flavorful. The Brain, I mean the Tofu mix, was strange. I think it was ground beef tofu. I had always thought that if it was ground, they called it soy protein, not specifically tofu, well anyway also I discovered a small corn tortilla cemented to the tray, underneath all this. The taste of this conglomeration was bland, except when you grabbed a chunk of the tortilla. The best way to describe it? Like eating creamed corn blended with corn stuffing. I saw the salsa, I did not taste the salsa. Lastly, the potatoes were fantastic. Not mealy, very moist and potatoey.
Overall, I would say that this is a meal only AMY’s mom would love. It didn’t taste disgusting, like it looked, but certainly not on par with the other AMY’s stuff I’ve had. I suppose there was a reason this was on clearance.

“…it has to be one of the most revolting dishes I have ever looked at (and still planned on eating).”
This was hysterical, greak freakin’ review. Yeah…I don’t think I’d ever trust the “clearence” section at the supermarket…your tummy is not something you want to piss off
Nice job Meg.

Awesome review! This meal is better than the other scramble, but that isn’t saying much!

Isabella, thanks…it was hard not to say too much when I commented on your wonderful review. I think Amy just can’t do breakfast.
