Vegetarian Tacos

This recipe is a simple and filling vegetarian adaptation of the American classic – tacos.  It is infinitely better than any premade taco seasoning, and can be used with any meat substitute (not just Quorn).  Adapted from Cooks Illustrated.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 T chili powder
  • 1 t cumin
  • 1.5 t cayenne pepper
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/4 c tomato paste
  • 1/2 c broth
  • 2 t cider vinegar
  • 1 t brown sugar
  • 1 T oil
  • 1 package vegetarian mince (Quorn or another similar brand)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and cook onion in oil until translucent and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and spices, stir, and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar and sugar.
  4. Add quorn, stir, and simmer for a few minutes, until some of the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Serve with taco shells/tortilla wraps, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, salad, and vegetables of your choice.
