Hey all,

I recently bought a bag of Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) as a recipe in a cookbook I have called for it for tacos. Funnily enough, the bag I got also had a recipe for tacos on it, and after following it I have to say, it was phenomenal. Pretty certain I got bang for my buck considering it only used 100 g or such of a 340 g bag that I got for $5.79, that's only about 21 ¢ a taco putting aside other ingredients.

I checked the company site for other recipes using TVP, but there wasn't a whole lot. Curious if anybody here has any go-to recipes they'd like to recommend or share, as I'd love to use this stuff more often.

We primarily use it for a replacement or ground beef in tacos, and spaghetti.

Simple taco recipe we use: 1 onion 2 cans beans (any kind you like for tacos) 2 cans tomatoes (whatever kind you like for tacos) 1-2 Tbsp beef bouillon 1-2 packs of taco seasoning 1 cup TVP

Dice the onion. On high heat cook the onion in a large pan with oil to the level you prefer. Add cans of tomatoes and beans and cover. Once it simmering turn the heat down and stir, then leave covered and simmering for 10-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove lid, add 1/2 cup of water, TVP, and beef bouillon and stir until TVP absorbs liquid. Add taco seasoning and stir. Add more water as needed to get the consistency you prefer. Done.
