10 MINUTE TVP TACOS

• Add oil and soy sauce, then peppers and taco seasoning, stirring well.
• Allow to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in salsa and remove from heat.
• Serve wrapped in a flour tortilla or hard taco shells with your choice of toppings.

10 MINUTE TVP TACOS (MODIFIED - HOT SINGLE GUY VERSION)

Steps:

• 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.

TVP CHILI RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large soup or stock pot, soak beans in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Retain soaking water.
• Bring beans and water to a slow simmer. Allow to cook for at least one hour.
• In a small bowl, combine TVP (textured vegetable protein) with hot vegetable broth and allow to sit for five to ten minutes.
• In a separate large soup or stock pan, sauté onions, garlic and chili pepper in olive oil for three to five minutes, until onions are soft. Reduce heat and add TVP, cayenne, coriander and cumin and stir well to combine.
• Add cooked beans, tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a slow simmer and stir well to combine. Allow to cook for at least 45 minutes more.
