Easy TVP Tacos (vegan!)

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon light oil (such as canola or vegetable)

1 small yellow onion (chopped)

4 cloves garlic (minced or pressed)

1 1/4 cups vegetable broth or vegan beefless broth

1 cup dry TVP granules (textured vegetable protein) )

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cumin

1/8 - ¼ teaspoon cayenne (optional for spice)

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

8 small tortillas (flour, corn, or gluten-free)

Toppings of choice such as: salsa, vegan sour cream, guacamole, vegan shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, chopped tomato, chopped onion, sliced avocado, or shredded lettuce.

Directions

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!
