This recipe uses store-bought salsa and taco seasoning to make a super-quick vegetarian taco filling from TVP. The TVP has a texture similar to shredded chicken when cooked. Wrap in a flour tortilla or stuff in a hard shell with lettuce, tomatoes and beans.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups TVP (textured vegetable protein)
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup salsa
- flour tortillas or taco shells
Preparation:
In a large skillet, heat the water over medium heat, and add the TVP, stirring well. Allow the TVP to reconstitute for 2-3 minutes.
Add oil and soy sauce, then peppers and taco seasoning, stirring well. Allow to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in salsa and remove from heat.
Serve wrapped in a flour tortilla or hard taco shells. I like to eat this as is, but you could also add tomatoes, lettuce, beans and sour cream to your tacos.
