Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy curls
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup salsa
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Rehydrate the soy curls by placing them in a medium bowl and pouring hot vegetable broth over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes until they absorb the liquid and become plump.
- After rehydrating, drain any excess liquid from the soy curls using a colander or strainer.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the rehydrated soy curls.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the soy curls, stirring to coat completely and ensure even distribution of the spices.
- Cook the seasoned soy curls for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become slightly crispy and golden brown.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds on each side to enhance their flavor and make them pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing the seasoned soy curl "chicken" in the center of each warm tortilla.
- Top each taco with fresh sliced avocado, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately while the soy curls are hot and the tortillas are warm.
Tips
- Liquid is Key: When rehydrating soy curls, use hot vegetable broth instead of water to add extra flavor from the start.
- Seasoning Matters: Make sure to evenly coat the soy curls with taco seasoning for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Crispy Technique: Let the soy curls sit undisturbed for a minute or two while cooking to achieve those delightful crispy edges.
- Tortilla Tip: Warming tortillas directly over a flame or on a hot skillet enhances their flavor and makes them more pliable.
- Fresh Toppings: Add avocado, salsa, and cilantro just before serving to keep everything fresh and vibrant.
- Meal Prep Hack: You can prepare the soy curl "chicken" ahead of time and quickly reheat when ready to serve.
- Customize: Feel free to add additional toppings like vegan sour cream, pickled jalapeños, or your favorite hot sauce to make these tacos your own.
