The original recipe contains beef, but you can substitute with jackfruit, mushrooms or your favorite meat substitute.Some people also prepare it with chile guajillo (chile Colorado) which is essentially dried anaheim pepper.

Blogs like Dora’s have been a great help with their recipes and stories of their daily lives, tips of places to eat, and products to use. I enjoy cooking so much more now, and I often experiment with new ingredients and different types of recipes. I still cook my favorite foods but in vegan versions I eat a lot of grains and legumes, that, of course, I had eaten before, but not often. I am now more conscious of the nutrients my body needs. It wasn’t until 2017, when I had more nutritional information at my disposal, that I decided to stop being a closeted vegetarian and become fully plant-based. I began consuming soy milk or almond milk, but every once in a while I would eat cheese when I was traveling, in restaurants or at social reunions. It was clear to me that consuming cow’s milk was completely unnecessary and in certain cases, it could be harmful to your health. Around the same time, late 2010 I watched a video by the activist Gary Yourofsky, this caused a great impact in my life and it was the first time I heard the term “vegan”, but at that moment I didn’t know how to make such a drastic change. I continued to cook for my family as I always had, but when serving the food I would simply not put the meat on my plate, on occasion I would eat fish though. I followed this diet for two months until I accomplished my weight-loss goal, but since I was feeling so great I considered the possibility of becoming vegetarian, consequently, I began to eliminate all meat from my diet. I could only eat chicken or fish 1-2 times per week. ![]() ![]() I began a diet to lose weight which recommended the elimination of all dairy products and red meats.

Hours of slow simmering produces tender beans and bursting hominy (The real stuff here!! No cans were used in the production of this recipe). Traditionally it is made with beef, but for this vegan version, we are simply omitting it, and believe me when I say that it is equally delicious! What makes this recipe so special is that it’s made in the slow-cooker. It is a dish so local to the state of Sonora that you might not have heard of it before! Served with a splash of lime juice, chopped cilantro, onion, and Chile chiltepin. Gallina Pinta is a beautiful thick stew of pinto beans, hominy, Anaheim Chile, and herbs. ![]()
