1. In a small bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) and hot water or vegetable broth. Stir well and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes to rehydrate.
2. While the TVP is hydrating, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the TVP and stir well to coat evenly.
4. Cook the TVP for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and slightly browned.
5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
6. Assemble your tacos by dividing the cooked TVP between the two tortillas.
7. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese (if using), hot sauce or salsa, sour cream, and avocado slices as desired.
8. Fold the tortillas and enjoy your quick and easy tacos!
