Vegetarian Star

Adriana Guillen has always known the secret that many American vegetarians only learned once they gave up meat.

Mexican cuisine is a great way to get your protein, plants and every other needed food group.

The Masterchef contestant grew up cooking the traditional staples of the culture like refried beans, but she’s learned to prepare many more dishes since then, including her favorite one involving potatoes.

Guillen said in an interview:

“My favorite thing to eat are the potato enchiladas that I grew up with … They’re just amazing. Overall Mexican food is my favorite. I’m vegetarian, so specifically Mexican vegetarian food.”

As expected, Guillen was a little out of her element when it came to some challenges that involved cooking meat.

“I was freaking out cooking the lamb, especially since I had just seen the little baby lambs and I wanted to go hug them and pet them. Then I had to go and look at this huge array of meat, and I’m like ‘oh my god.’ I was just so thankful that I didn’t have to kill them myself.”
