Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1/2 cup water in a large pot or skillet. Cook onion, garlic, and bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add textured vegetable protein, remaining 1 cup of water, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, nutritional yeast (if using), and soy sauce. Cook over low heat until mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes.

Heat a tortilla in a dry skillet until soft and pliable. Top with about 1/4 cup of filling and fold in half. Cook 1 minute on each side. Garnish with lettuce, green onions, tomato, avocado (if using), and salsa or taco sauce.
