- 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
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!
