5 Reviews of 10 Minute Tvp Tacos

From: The Urban Gourmet

On Jan 10, 2009

Great fast, simple one pot recipe! Thank you! I modified mine a bit, adding diced onion, nutritinal yeast flakes, and using a bef boullion concentrate instead of the soy sauce. I didn't have taco seasoning, but I used the ingredients from a taco seasoning recipe on recipezaar but with more cayenne because I like it spicy. A bit of cheddar to top it on the tortilla, and it's a taco. Guess I'll just write up the modification so I can remember it, lol! 1/2 cup water, tvp was enough to fill 2 10" torts generously.

    I have to make my own Salsa as its hard to find where I live (Ireland) but this still takes NO TIME to make! Our fussy 8 year old daughter eats the TVP without a word of complaint - she usually sniffs it out at 10 paces! As I have a 5 kilo sack this recipe is a god send! Thank you. On occasion I have not been able to get Taco seasoning - so I just used cumin, coriander and chilli powder instead - worked great! We serve this with homemade goat milk yoghurt and crispy lettuce from the garden.

    I've been trying to find new ways of using TVP and I'm glad I came across this recipe. It is indeed quick and easy and pretty good as taco meat. I used the leftovers and made an egg scramble and that was pretty good too. Thanks for posting this quick meal.

    I'm a regular meat eater, but I'm trying to eat better so I tried this TVP. I think next time I will cut down the two cups of TVP down to 1.5 and I might add some of those spices other reviewers mentioned, and an onion to help build up the taste. I tried to feed the Tacos to my family, but they saw the TVP and refused, I'll try again to fake them out. Thanks for the recipe.

    Tasty! I used my own taco seasonings and added some tomato sauce to make it wetter and to look more like a taco filling. Hubbie suggested that next time we add some chopped, toasted walnuts.
