Vegetarians who love their tacos, I have a recipe for you. This meatless filling is good for tacos, burritos or nacho topping. Could also be a good filling for zucchini, peppers etc. This recipe came about when I was watching the cooking show “You Gotta Eat Here”. I made note of the ingredients and recreated it. I was surprised at how good it was. Has a nice meat like texture, lots of flavour and juicy. I will be making this again.
Leftovers can be used to make a lettuce wrap or just top on a salad.

- Add crumbled tofu to pan, stir in. Add 1/3 cup vegetable juice and all your tamari and mix then add your dry mix.
- Once all mixed together spread onto a pan, drizzle the rest of your tomato juice on and bake on 425 for about 25minutes. (until golden brown).
- To serve place your “meat” into taco shell, corn or flour tortilla sprinkle with cheese and put in over until cheese is melted. Add lettuce or any other taco topping favourites. Drizzle or hot sauce, salsa or sour cream.

Notes
This also is great filling for a lettuce wrap which I did for my lunch the next day.
Could be a good topping for nachos as well.
You can play with the spices and add more or less depending on your taste.
