I was apprehensive at first as I REALLY love tacos...soft shell, not corn shell. But I love the way the cheese, sour cream, meat and salsa mingle at the bottom of the taco. That last bite is usually blissful. Those are hard shoes to fill for a meat replacement. But it did work. It was delicious. I'm still burping it up 6 hours later.
Here's how it went down.
First, I put the water for the rice and TVP on to boil. I also set out a frying pan with olive oil to be filled with bean sprouts, white beans, mushrooms, peppers, onion and garlic. As I was chopping and adding, the waters came to boil and I added their respective ingredients. The TVP took no time to cook! It was ready in a flash. Check this out, this is TVP in it's dry form on the right, just after cooking on the left, and being fried and seasoned in the middle.
Once I had seasoned the TVP, added it to the veggie mix in the other pan and it looked like so:
Finally, it was ready to put together into some delicious tacos....look at this!
As you can see for yourself, It looks amazing and delicious, and it was. Flavourful, textured, and totally nutritious. I have left overs too because I made more TVP than I needed. It cooks so well. If you're a veggie beginner (as I still am) you can find this in Canada at Bulk Barn. I don't know about in the US so look it up if you're there.
This is one meat substitute I'm very happy with. It'll get thrown into stir frys and chili for sure!
