Steps:

  • 7. Add onion and sauté until onion is well cooked, but not browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • 8. Add the garlic and stir in until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  • 9. Add TVP to pan and mix with the onion.
  • 10. Add taco seasoning, and the tomato paste.
  • 11. Mix to combine thoroughly.
  • 12. Add additional olive oil to keep the mixture moist.
