Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
Instructions
Rehydrate the TVP by bringing the vegetable broth to a boil. Remove from heat and add the TVP, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rehydrated TVP mixture to the skillet.
Cook the TVP for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
Meanwhile, heat the corn tortillas either by placing them in a hot, dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds.
To assemble the tacos, fill each tortilla with a portion of the crispy TVP mixture.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tacos just before eating for added flavor.
