Vegetarian Taco "meat"

Submitted by Kozmic Blues

"This is a great meatless substitute for the seasoned ground beef you find in many Mexican recipes. I use this over nachos, or as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. Because of the wonderful spices in the mixture, I find that alot of my favorite "meat-eaters" really don't miss the ground beef at all!! ; >"

Delicious every time!! My husband found this recipe a few years ago and boy are we HAPPY! This recipe is simple to follow and has such great flavor. We typically use it for tacos, but have also added it to enchiladas. Even our super picky NON-veg friend devours it! Thanks Kozmic Blues!!
