Minced TVP Pitacos

Hi friends! Welcome to Veganbell’s experimental food series. Today, I’m featuring a recipe for minced TVP pitacos – a tasty twist on traditional tacos.

For those who may not be familiar, TVP (or Textured Vegetable Protein) is a soy product that is often used in vegan and vegetarian dishes as a meat substitute. It has a rich, umami flavor and is great at absorbing other flavors, making it a perfect addition to these pitacos.

To make these pitacos, we start by toasting some pita bread with a bit of olive oil. Then, we add a cooked & spiced mixture of minced TVP and top it with freshly squeezed key lime, freshly chopped cilantro, pickled onions, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cabbage. The combination of flavors is simply divine!

This is a fun and easy recipe to make, and it’s sure to be a hit with both vegans and non-vegans alike. Give it a try and see for yourself just how delicious it is.

Let’s go!
