To prepare, simply heat the soy taco filling in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. You can add a splash of water or broth if a looser consistency is desired. Once heated, it can be spooned directly into taco shells or tortillas. It pairs well with your favorite taco toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, salsa, and cheese or dairy-free alternatives.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional ground meat, this soy taco filling is entirely plant-based and contains no animal products. It offers a similar chewy texture and absorbs flavors well, but it cooks much faster and requires less cleanup than browning meat.
