My Notes:
Servings: (makes enough filling for 6 - 8 tacos)
Ingredients
For the TVP:
- 1 tablespoon(s) light oil (such as canola or vegetable)
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 4 clove(s) garlic minced or pressed
- 1 1/4 cup(s) vegetable broth or vegan beefless broth
- 1 cup(s) dry TVP granules (textured vegetable protein)
- 2 teaspoon(s) chili powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon(s) cumin
- 1/8 - ¼ teaspoon(s) cayenne optional for spice
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt or to taste
For the tacos:
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas (gluten-free if preferred)
- Toppings of choice for TVP tacos: salsa, vegan sour cream, guacamole, vegan shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, chopped tomato, chopped onion, sliced avocado, or shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or non-stick frying pan. When hot add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion turns translucent and just begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in the vegetable broth, TVP, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetable broth has absorbed and the TVP is tender and chewy. If it gets a bit dry just add a splash more vegetable broth. Or if it is too wet continue to simmer a little longer until the vegetable broth is absorbed.
- Spoon into tortilla shells, and decorate with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
Make-ahead: Allow the prepared TVP taco meat to cool then store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer.
Oil-free: to make oil-free, simply omit the oil and do a water or broth sauté.
