Oh yeah! This is now my go to recipe for ground taco meat! Tasty, versatile. I use these crumbles in tacos, burritos, salads …
I now have taco night and enjoy every bite!

Delicious and so easy! I replaced the spices with 3 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning for plenty of flavor. I made the broth with 1¼ cups water and 3 teaspoons of McKay's Beef Style Seasoning. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

This recipe worked out perfectly, was easy, and was my first TVP experience. Now I'm just looking for more ways to use it. Yum!

I have experimented a bit with vegan taco meat, especially when I realized how easy it is to use TVP. This recipe was great and I will make this a go-to recipe. I had a pack of low-sodium taco seasoning that I really shouldn't be using anyway, but I used your spices instead. No more seasoning packs for me, either. I actually only used the TVP part of the recipe because I was making more of a taco bowl last night. Now, to see if I can save this recipe!

First time trying TVP and we are hooked! Pretty sure I could eat these tacos 5 nights a week. Thank you for all of your amazing recipes - I’ve made several now and we love them all.

Been a vegan for 20 years and only just starting to experiment with TVP.
This has been my go-to taco recipe for the summer! So easy and tasty! (And my non-vegan friends like it, too!)
Thank you!

Great recipe! This was my first time to cook with TVP and I have to admit I was little skeptical. But, everybody enjoyed it. I added quite a bit more seasonings, but that was just a matter of personal taste. I liked how easy and convenient it was. And mostly I liked how I felt good after I ate it. It seemed "clean"--no overload of sodium (used low-sodium veggie broth) or other highly processed junk. Thank you!

Made these for the first time and they were a hit. My first time cooking with TVP too. My eldest child is generally sceptical about my non-meat-meat attempts, but the first thing she said when I placed the filling on the table was “This smells like I might actually like it”. When she went back for a second helping with an “I can’t believe I’m doing this, can you believe it?!”, the verdict was clear. High praise, albeit challenging to interpret. The rest of us really enjoyed it as well 🙂 I added a healthy tablespoon of nutritional yeast for some vitamin B, but otherwise followed the recipe. Thank you!

Oh my stars!!! This is a wonderful recipe. Made these for lunch today and even my carnivore husband loved them.

A thousand thank you’s…

Sam, these were so easy and SO DELICIOUS. I followed the recipe exactly. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. This was my first time using TVP. I was scared of it (how ridiculous is that??) but not anymore! My kids loved them too! (Big hit!) I look forward to trying more of your recipes!

Fantastic! Used an un-chicken broth, and made a cashew lime crema to add on with the usual toppings. Really great recipe. Perfect proportions. We doubled it for leftovers, can't wait to have them.

This recipe is BOMB! I love taco salad for lunch and I usually use a meat substitute and a packaged taco seasoning but this was so much cheaper and healthier and tastes amazing. Adding this into the weekly rotation! So good!

Not bad. I found it needed 1 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce and a dash of Maggi seasoning to make it more beef-like (could use some red wine but I didn't have any). I used a mushroom broth base as well.

I added more chili seasoning and cayenne and topped it off with a bit of lime juice.

This was a delicious recipe! Can you come up with a vegan white queso dip that is nut free? You are so clever with creating such great recipes. I recently bought 2 of your books and consider you to be one of the best vegan cooks out there!!

In reply to Susan. Aww thanks Susan! And I agree, TVP can be spongey, technique and measurements are important! :)
