Soy Tacos

SOY TACOS

These tacos are full of delicious veggies and they are perfect for a dinner at home with the family or a fiesta with friends.

I don't know if there is anything better than peppers and onions sauteing in a little bit of oil.  Add some garlic to the mix and I imagine that's what heaven smells like :)  These Soy Tacos incorporate all of my favorite flavors in one meal and leave me wondering, "why can't every night be taco night?"  Enjoy!

 

Ingredients 

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves

1/2 small red onion

1 melrose pepper

1 anaheim pepper

1 jalapeno pepper

1 12oz package ground soy (or tofu)

2 large tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

  

Instructions

Heat your pan to medium heat and add the olive oil.  Chop the garlic, onion and peppers and saute for 5 minutes.  (The great thing about making tacos is that they are super versatile.  If you don't like or can't find melrose and anaheim peppers you can substitute poblanos, hot banana peppers or even bell peppers.  It's all about what works for you.   You can also switch out the ground soy for tofu and fresh tomatoes for canned.  Just be sure to drain the tomatoes if you use canned or you will have very soupy tacos.  Okay back to the instructions!)

Now that you've sauteed your onions, peppers and garlic for 5 minutes, you can go ahead and add the ground soy and cook for and additional 5 minutes.   Chop up your tomatoes and add them to the pan.  Add all of the spices and seasonings and cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.  Serve on corn tortillas with your choice of toppings.  I like to top mine with green onions, guacamole, corn salsa and cheese (or soy cheese to keep it vegan).  Buen Apetito!
