Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons instant minced onion
  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional or to taste) or 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (optional or to taste)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (12 ounce) package vegetarian ground beef (I like Boca or Litelife Gimme Lean)

Method

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add meatless ground burger, water and spices.
  • Mix well and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until heated through and water is absorbed.
  • Use this mixture to replace the seasoned ground beef in any of your favorite Mexican recipes!
  • Another note* One can use 1 cup of TVP in place of the soy crumbles or Boca. You might need a bit more that 1 cup of water to keep mixture from getting too dry.
