Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I hadn't planned on having our grandson here this weekend past, so the only food I had for him was taco salad made with canned beans, taco seasoning and TVP that I reconstituted with taco seasoning in the water. There are many sites where you can buy TVP, so goggle for that. I use Tone Taco seasoning which I get in a large container at Sam's Club. I sauteed a little garlic, onions, red peppers and celery then added it to the TVP, canned beans (well mushed) and some taco seasoning with water. Served it over mixed greens with taco sauce, diced cucumber (this kid loves cucumbers), cherry tomatoes, cheese and sour cream with tortilla chips on the side. He said it was the best taco salad he'd ever had and raved about it to his friends online. Had he known it was TVP there is no way he'd have eaten it. Maybe the rest of you can sneak the occasional TVP into your carnivore housemates. Nope, I'm not having any emotional anguish over not telling our little carnivore that he was eating TVP.
