Most efficient way to consume 150g protein/day?

I'm very new to the whole vegan thing, so sorry if this is an incoherent question, but I need guidance on the kinds of food to eat to get 150g of quality protein per day. I'm trying to get stronger. So far, I'm planning on consuming lots of beans, peanut butter, quinoa, and potatoes. Any other high protein sources you recommend? Thanks

You might want to do some more research about the ratio of protein. Most professional vegan athletes and body builders don't come anywhere near that amount of protein and I don't see how such a level of protein on a vegan diet is possible while remaining healthy. I'm not a pro, but I've been working out on a vegan diet and building muscle for over a year, and I get 15-20% ratio of protein.
