Sometimes you want to try a recipe and it’s so tied to the meat (texture usually) that a substitute works better (or at least makes it so you don’t have to muck around to find the right texture/taste).

I’ll give tacos as an example. As a kid we’d just ask to sub beans into the taco. And they were okay. Then one day, I tried it with Beyond Beef, and I suddenly understood why people liked tacos so much.

For me only diced mushrooms came close, but even that texture was inferior, compared to the Beyond Beef. Flavor was just as good though.
