10 Minute Tvp Tacos (Modified - Hot Single Guy Version) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup textured vegetable protein, the ground beef granules style
1 teaspoon beef bouillon concentrate
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning (see instructions if you don't have any)
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (adjust to taste) (optional)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 cup red pepper, cut into 1 inch strips
4 slices medium onions, quartered
2 tablespoons taco sauce or 2 tablespoons salsa
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
2 cherry tomatoes
2 tortillas
taco seasoning
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)
Preparation
-
The taco seasoning ingredients are to be use if you don't have any pre-mixed taco seasoning, but if you do, then just omit them and add a bit more cayenne to taste. The taco seasoning ingredients will yield enough to make this recipe four times, so mix, measure 1/1/2 tsp and save the rest.
Dump the water (adding a couple of teaspoons more water would be a good idea), diced onion, beef or vegetable boullion, tvp, spice and yeast flakes in a 1 quart sauce pan and heat on medium low heat, stirring continually until almost all the water is absorbed.
Add the olive oil and sliced red peppers and onions, stirring continually and fry for a couple of minutes to just soften the onions.
Add the salsa , stir to warm it up and remove from heat.
This mix is enough to generously fill 2 10 inch flour tortillas.
Cut the tomatoes in strips or dice them as a garnish, and sprinkle some cheese on top, then wrap it up and enjoy. You can also add shredded lettuce if you have some. I didn't.
