I volunteer at a food bank, they give the volunteers food for our time. I was given a large bag of limes. I am looking for recipes to use them!
The only real recipes I have are for cilantro lime rice, and corn and lime salsa.
ETA: I am looking meal ideas more than desserts.

I love Thai-inspired peanut sauce over noodles with tofu and some stir-fried veggies: https://www.budgetbytes.com/thai-peanut-sauce/
I also love these tacos, whose sauce uses lime juice: https://www.wellplated.com/tempeh-tacos/
I like to serve raw veggies (cauliflower, carrots and cherry tomatoes being my usual go-to) with a squeeze of lime juice and red pepper flakes to top like a dressing
Lime cremas are good for topping a lot of Tex-Mex type dishes. 1-2 teaspoons of lime juice to 3 Tbsp of a vegan yogurt or sour cream. Speaking of Tex-Mex, I really like a squeeze of lime in black beans.
To really use up a good amount of limes, you could make some Indian-style lime pickles to go as a side for things https://holycowvegan.net/indian-lime-pickle/
Not mentioning a lot of dessert options here because you said you were looking more for meals, but I do just want to shout out key lime chia seed puddings for easy breakfasts or desserts. I'd eyeball it but here's a recipe here: https://lindsayrecipes.com/key-lime-chia-seed-pudding/
Could also make a vegan lime curd to serve with vegan yogurt and granola. Just swap lemon for lime https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-lemon-curd/
Thank you! Some great suggestions. I forgot I used to make a lime cream sauce for tacos, I will have to find that and try it with vegan sour cream.
The Thai peanut sauce sounds great too.
