This is a great meatless substitute for the seasoned ground beef you find in many Mexican recipes. I find I've been making this recipe WITH the addition of black beans more and more. I use this over nachos, or as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. Because of the wonderful spices in the mixture, I find that alot of my favorite meat-eaters really don't miss the ground beef at all!! ; > Ingredients:
2 tablespoons instant minced onion |
1 vegetable bouillon cube |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) or 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, to taste (optional) |
1 cup water |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed |
1 (12 ounce) package vegetarian ground beef (i like boca or litelife gimme lean) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add meatless ground burger, water and spices.
2. Mix well and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until heated through and water is absorbed.
3. Add black beans and simmer another 5 minutes.
4. Use this mixture to replace the seasoned ground beef in any of your favorite Mexican recipes!
5. Another note* One can use 1 cup of TVP in place of the soy crumbles or Boca. You might need a bit more that 1 cup of water to keep mixture from getting too dry.
