Ingredients
  

Taco Filling
  • 2 small onions, diced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 2 cups dry TVP granules (textured vegetable protein)
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
Seasoning
  • 4 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
For Serving
  • 15 corn tortillas
  • guacamole or avocado slices
  • lime wedges
  • diced tomatoes
  • lettuce or kale

Method
 

  1. Warm oil in large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until it softened, about 3 min.
  2. Add the TVP, spices, and vegetable broth to the pan. Stir well to coat all TVP with seasoning.
  3. Bring to a simmer and cook until all liquid is completely soaked up, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Heat the corn tortillas in a nonstick pan or on a griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until golden. (This also helps corn tortillas to hold together.)
  5. Serve with tomatoes, lettuce, guacamole, cilantro and lime. Enjoy!
