Ingredients

  • 2 cups soy crumbles or tvp, super firm tofu or vegan beef crumbles
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Instructions

  • In a large non-stick skillet or pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the soy crumbles and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the crumbles and press them well to release as much liquid as possible.
  • In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil and warm over medium-high heat. Add the drained soy crumbles and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they dry out even more and become a bit golden brown.
  • Now add the garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, salt and white vinegar. Stir until well combined and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately in tacos, burritos, on nachos or perhaps with tofu scramble. Enjoy!
