A Jolinda Hackett recipe.his recipe uses store-bought salsa and taco seasoning to make a super-quick vegetarian taco filling from TVP. The TVP has a texture similar to shredded chicken when cooked. Wrap in a flour tortilla or stuff in a hard shell with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and green onions.

Great recipe!! I am new to using TVP and wanted something simple! This definitely fit the bill and was DELICIOUS!!!! I added onion that I sauteed with garlic before reconstituting the TVP. I also used a recipe for taco seasoning (taco-seasoning-66591) rather than a purchased mix. Delicious! Both of my kids loved them!! And did I say they were super quick?? Definitely a keeper!! Thanks again!!

Tasty! I used my own taco seasonings and added some tomato sauce to make it wetter and to look more like a taco filling. Hubbie suggested that next time we add some chopped, toasted walnuts.
