So if you are in an area where vegetarian foods are hard to come by, but you want to reduce your meat intake for whatever reason, a really great resouce we keep around for winter in case we get snowed in is Augason Farm's Black Bean Burger powder. You can get a 2 pound can of it on Amazon (or other places online) for about 15-20 bucks and it will make a pretty hefty amount of black bean burger mix that you can then make into patties, or tacos... or lasagna, sloppy joes, meatballs. Whatever you really feel like black bean burger mix would be good for. Since it's a dry mix that you add water to it doesn't need special storage other than keeping the lid on it. I highly suggest it to people trying to go vegetarian on a budget or in situations where food storage or availability is rough (or even those that aren't because frankly they're tasty and economical.)
