Vegetarian Tacos




This recipe uses store-bought salsa and taco seasoning to make a super-quick vegetarian taco 1filling from TVP2. The TVP has a texture similar to shredded chicken when cooked. Wrap in a flour tortilla or stuff in a hard shell with lettuce, tomatoes and beans.


* 2 cups TVP
* 2 cups water
* 2 tbsp soy sauce
* 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
* 1 package taco seasoning
* 1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
* 1/4 cup salsa
* flour tortillas or taco shells

Preparation:
In a large skillet, heat the water over medium heat, and add the TVP, stirring well. Allow the TVP4 to reconstitute for 2-3 minutes.

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. I like to eat this as is, but you could also add tomatoes, lettuce, beans and sour cream to your tacos.
