in the strangest of places if you look at it right... following a sting of links, I found www.hillbillyhousewife.com with this recipe: TVP and Bean Burrito Mix 1 cup plain or unflavored TVP granules 3 tablespoons dry onion 2 tablespoons dry bell pepper (optional) 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon oregano 2 beef bouillon cubes Combine the TVP and all of the other ingredients in a resealable plastic container. I like to use zip-lock bags. Label and Seal and the container. Store on the pantry shelf. This is enough for 1 package of mix. Make several at a time for the most conveneince. To Prepare: 1 package TVP & Bean Burrito Mix 1-1/2 cups tap water 15 ounce can refried beans, or 2 cups cooked pinto beans, mashed with a fork or potato masher (they needn't be smooth) 2 tablespoons oil 8 or 10 flour tortillas In a skillet combine the Mix and tap water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until it boils. Reduce the heat to low, so the mixture only simmers. Add the refried beans, or mashed pinto beans and the oil. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens up to a good consistency. Spread the filling onto heated tortillas. Add salsa, sour cream, cheese, sprouts, guacamole and anything else that suits your fancy. These are quite good, and very easy. Makes 4 or 5 servings.
I was thinking better than bouillon veggie with liquid smoke or veg worchestershire. source is a fundie xtian, not a veg head, but she promotes a low meat diet. Nice, eh? tvp is at most HFS
Yes, the beef bouillon does have animal extract in, but they sound yum nevertheless and I bet you could find a good substitute. I made some tvp quesadillas just last night with veg taco seasoning and lots of diced onion. I still haven't given up cheese, so it was sprinkled with a mexican cheese blend. I will have to try the tvp and bean burritos next! Thanks for the idea!
