Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan (10.5 inch / 26 cm)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup TVP (Soy) -> What is TVP?
  • 1 cup Veggie broth
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 + ½ Tbsp Taco seasoning mix
  • ¼ tsp Onion powder
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder

Instructions

  • Boil water in a kettle and add veggie stock or bring veggie broth to boil. Take a heat-resisting bowl or saucepan and soak TVP in the hot veggie broth for 10 minutes.
  • When the time is up, squeeze the liquid out with your hands. As a result, you need to have moist, soft “minced meat”. 
  • Preheat your frying pan or skillet over medium to high heat.
  • Add olive oil and softened TVP. Stir.
  • Add taco seasoning mix, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • Fry the TVP for about 5 minutes to get them crispy on the edges a bit. Now, your meatless taco meat is ready to add to any tacos.
