Default TVP tacos

TVP - texturized vegetable protein

Measure out 2 cups of water an mix in a couple chicken bouillon cubes. (beef bouillon may be used as well)




Measure out 2 cups of TVP.




1/4 cup of onion



Mix real good.



Add in 2 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil.



Throw in your taco seasoning.






Throw in skillet (or dutch oven) to cook



add in some beans.



Some shells ready to bake.



Chop some spinach instead of lettuce



Voila! An nice healthy all vegetable dinner with the same texture of ground beef or shredded chicken.

They weren't bad. Had a slightly sweet flavor to it. It wasn't like the TVP meat loaf we had though. The meat loaf was pretty darn close to 'meat'.

Interesting. I may have to try it, as I'm trying the reduce the amount of red meat I eat.

Where do you get the TVP?

I bought it at the local Whole Foods, but you should be able to buy it at any health food store. it is $2 a pound and one pound of TVP - when re-constituted with liquid, will be the same as 2-3 pounds of meat.

At Whole Foods, is it prepackaged, or is it with the bulk goods you measure out like grains, nuts, etc?

Whole Foods has it in the bulk foods section and you just bag what you want.

Well I'll be damned, my GF and I just might try this mystery "meat".

Have you tried making "meat" sauce with it, for pasta?
How about a form of Shepherds Pie or Chili?

No, we have not tried that, but I have thought about mixing a little ground beef with some TVP and making pasta sauce or chili, seems like it would be a good way to make meat stretch a little further.

That sounds like a good idea. May have to try it sometime.
