Steps:

• Note: adobo seasoning, and sazon are seasonings found in the spanish section of your local grocery store. you could use oth.
• Boil the vegetable broth in a small pot over medium heat. Place the TVP in a medium sized bowl with the boiled vegetable broth to reconstitute the TVP. Mix to moisten all the TVP and leave the TVP for about 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the vegetable broth and expand a bit.
• While the TVP soaks, chop the onions, pepper, and garlic.
• Drain the TVP and reserve the leftover liquid in a bowl for later. Heat a medium sized frying pan with the oil on medium heat. Add the TVP and saute until it is a bit browned and crispy.
• Add the onions and garlic and saute for five minutes. (If the pan gets too dry, add more oil) Then add the pepper and saute for five more minutes.
• Add the adobo, garlic powder, onion powder, and the sazon and mix. Then add the reserved liquid from the TVP, the tomato sauce, and the water. Let cook until most of the liquid is absorbed. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve over your favorite grains and with vegetables.
