This tasty recipe was easy to make. I used less oil (accidentally!) and left out the bell pepper (personal preference), salt, and pepper. The combination of seasoning gave the dish a certain sweetness, which I really liked. My meat-eating family enjoys beef tacos about once a week. There's no fooling them with the TVP, but I'll prepare this for my-veggie-self now on taco night!

This was a very nice and simple recipe. I used a little extra chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, only because of my personal taste preferences, not because it necessarily needed it. My teenagers enjoyed it as much as I did, and the leftovers made a great taco salad the next day. I would recommend this to others. Tvp is such an inexpensive ground "meat" substitute and works perfectly in this dish! Thanks for posting. :)

I have always enjoyed cooking and looking for recipes. I have to admit though, until I joined Weight Watchers four years ago I never did much cooking. Since then it has became vital to do my own cooking and I find I am really good at it. I really enjoy trying new ingredients like Quinoa, Millet, Porktenderloin, hoisin sauce, beans, Textured Vegetable Protein among many other new ingredients. My family has started thinking I am a little weird with all the unusual ingredients I have in my pantry. My passions are my 3 nephews, Matthew, Lucas and Charles and my 8 parrots, Guy, Pete, Toby, Daisy, Zeke, Ernie, Max and Lu. They keep me positive when life takes a nose dive.
