10 Minute Tvp Tacos (Modified - Hot Single Guy Version) image

I guess I should rephrase that. It's not just for single guys, or hot ones for that matter, I modified the quantity for a single person and made it more spicy. This is based on the 10 Minute TVP Tacos recipe posted by Queenkungfu http://www.recipezaar.com/10-Minute-Tvp-Tacos-289559 but modified, partly because I didn't have taco seasoning mix on hand, I wanted a "cooking for one" recipe, and I just can't seem to follow instructions. Aside from the water and TVP, quantities are approximate since I don't measure much.

Time 13m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup textured vegetable protein, the ground beef granules style
1 teaspoon beef bouillon concentrate
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning (see instructions if you don't have any)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne (adjust to taste) (optional)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 cup red pepper, cut into 1 inch strips
4 slices medium onions, quartered
2 tablespoons taco sauce or 2 tablespoons salsa
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
2 cherry tomatoes
2 tortillas
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)

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.

I made these tacos with ground beef instead of TVP and they were still really good. The flavors were great and the tacos were really easy to make.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but they were still really good. I will definitely be making them again, but I will use less chili powder next time.
