Taste Bud: Stephanie and MorningStar

MorningStar Farms Chik'n Enchilada



I don't know about you, but I hardly ever find chicken that I can enjoy in the freezer aisle. To resolve this problem I often look to vegetarian options and avoid the meat all together.

Luckily, MorningStar Farms has a NEW line of complete meals, and they're just as healthy as other meals in this category!

I tried the Chik'n Enchilada as I am one of the world's biggest fans of Mexican cuisine. To take the place of real chicken MorningStar added tofu cut into chicken strip shapes, and then mixed it with corn, beans, and plenty of cheese inside a wheat tortilla and topped it with a delicious red sauce. On the side is brown rice mixed with veggies.

Overall I enjoyed the meal! I appreciated that I could eat every bite of the "chik'n" without any mystery pieces, and the other ingredients in the enchilada tasted fresh and crisp. Again, there was plenty of cheese included. Obviously there was not as much as you would get at a delicious Mexican eatery such as La Fogata, but then it wouldn't be healthy! The rice was tasty as well.

Two hours later and I'm still feeling pretty satisfied due to that protein and fiber. I think an apple will get me through to 5 p.m.

All in all I highly recommend trying one of these new MorningStar meals. There are a wide variety of flavors in your grocer's freezer.
