Complete vegetarian protein?

I keep reading "protein isn't a big deal" for vegetarian or vegans in particular, and it is simply not true in my case. I became physically weak and had stopped going to the gym, only when I started taking carnitine did it seem to improve, but I don't want to be dependent on a supplement. I also seem to do o.k. with egg protein.
So based on that information, does anyone know which foods I should be eating to get the right amino acids? I do recall reading that carnitine is made up of two aminos, methionine is one I think that are lacking in a vegetarian diet. I do not cook much but if I knew something simple like eat so much of this legume with this kind of grain I can follow that, I just need specific information rather than the generic "eat a variety of foods."
