Ingredients
- 2 cups soy curls
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 8 units corn tortillas
- 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit lime, cut into wedges
- 0 hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the soy curls in a large bowl and pour the vegetable broth over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes until softened, then drain and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the soy curls to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Sprinkle this spice mix over the soy curls and stir to coat evenly.
Step 5
Add soy sauce and maple syrup to the skillet, mixing well. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soy curls to caramelize slightly.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the spicy soy curls, and topping with shredded red cabbage, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve with lime wedges on the side and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
