& Rice-and-Bean Tacos
Two protein paths from one orange-lime marinade. Carne asada for the meat eaters, seasoned rice + pinto beans for the vegan plate. Six-section poster with marinade, timeline, foundation upgrades (Mexican red rice + bloomed pintos), and the chef's notes.

& Orange Tofu
Two proteins, one bright orange-ginger sauce, one shared kitchen. Tofu first in a clean pan to keep it vegetarian. The sauce splits at the end — small portion for tofu, larger for the chicken.
