Quick Taco Bowls
Use textured pea protein crumbles for quick taco meat that is a change from typical beans or lentils.
Servings 4 bowls
Ingredients
"Meat"
- 2 cups meatless pea protein crumbles (see post for details--or simply use lentils cooked in vegetable broth and add taco seasoning)
- 1 cup water
- 2 TBSP soy sauce (or alternative like aminos or tamari)
- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke (if you have it)
- 4 TBSP taco seasoning (see post for recipe)
- 1 TBSP nutritional yeast (optional)
Bowls
- 1 large tomato or fresh salsa
- 1 avocado, or guacamole
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 orange sweet potato (optional)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped fine
- 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
- hot sauce, salsa, ranch dressing, guacamole, or other sauce
Instructions
- Bake sweet potato, if you'd like to use one, by piercing it with a fork a few times and baking in the microwave for about 7 minutes (5 minutes for a small one).
- Make taco "meat" by soaking the crumbles in the 1 cup of water with the soy sauce and liquid smoke. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour crumbles into a large skillet and mix the remaining seasonings in. Cook over medium heat until water has cooked off. Set aside.
- Assemble bowls by layering chopped lettuce, rice, tomato, avocado, chopped baked sweet potato, corn, cilantro and sauce of choice with the crumbles.
