Ingredients

2 cups crumbles

1 cup water or broth

2 tbs soy sauce

1/2 tsp liquid smoke (if you have it!)

1/2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp paprika

1 tbs nutritional yeast (if you have it!)

4 tbs taco seasoning (or equal mix chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin)

3 tbs olive oil

Directions

1. Add crumbles to water or broth. Mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes.

2. Add the soy sauce and liquid smoke to the crumbles. Mix until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

3. Add spices, generous pinch of salt and pepper, and nutritional yeast (or substitute extra salt) and mix well.

4. Heat oil in large frying pan on medium high heat. Add taco meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the crumbles brown slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.

5. Serve with tortillas and toppings of your choosing! Try diced tomato, avocado, cilantro, and lime juice.

Extra Tips: Add 1 tbs vital wheat gluten or 1 egg to the final mixture to create extra juicy taco chunks!
