TVP Taco Filling

Some days it is Friday and all you want to do is stop on your way home from work and pick up something for dinner. But on some of those Fridays, you will only have $5 in your checking account and will somehow have to come up with $10 to pay to see your husband's improv troupe perform at Thunderdome (everyone should go and vote BTW!). On those days, making something quick and easy is almost as good. Here is a recipe for TVP taco filling. (TVP stands for texturized vegetable protein- not the best sounding ingredient, but it's very versatile and very good. Vegans need a PR person to rename some of these ingredients...) It is great for tacos, nachos, etc. Tonight, I made nachos with TVP, salsa, and sour cream (feel free to use this recipe)

TVP Taco filling

• 1 cup TVP
• 1 cup veggie broth (I used "not beef broth")
• taco seasonings- cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper to taste)

Boil the veggie broth and spices. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat and add TVP. Let stand for 5 minutes to rehydrate. THAT'S IT. Super easy. Super good.

PS- when I was naming this post, I originally named it "TVP Taco FEELING". I don't know what that says about me...
