If you tell anyone you're making vegan tacos they look at you cross eyed...there are several different approaches that I've seen and I feel like mine is a little different. I'm also a little conceited, I am completely convinced that my vegan cooking far surpasses everyone elses haha, maybe not. I can't disclose the full recipe because it's my dads, but I can share my method.
Textured vegetable protein was one of my favorite vegan discoveries, it's so versatile I've made fake chicken nuggets, and fried "chicken" and hamburgers, and meatballs, and country gravy with "sauage" and anything I feel like making...it works beautifully for tacos.
Start boiling water, around 2 cups. Place 1 cup or more of the TVP into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed, and 1 beef bouillon cube (if you can't find beef-free beef bouillon just don't worry about it). Once the water is boiling pour it over your TVP (textured vegetable protein) until it comes about half an inch above the mixture, set this aside. In a skillet heat 2 tablespoons of oil chop half of an onion and add it to the hot oil, while those start to cook crush a few cloves of garlic (I love garlic so I use about 4 cloves) add them to the oil, next add the TVP mixture. Brown your fake meat, this takes a while sometimes 20 minutes. Once your "meat" is browning add your seasonings, and then there you go! These have fooled even the pickiest of carnivores they are super delicious and the texture is perfect.
