Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Hot vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Neutral oil for frying (e.g., vegetable oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) and hot vegetable broth. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate, then fluff with a fork.
Step 2
Add chickpea flour, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley to the rehydrated TVP. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together and can hold its shape when formed into a patty.
Step 3
Using clean hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small, flat round patty.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and firm. Add more olive oil as needed between batches.
Step 5
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve the Vegan Tortitas de Carne Toledo warm with your choice of sides, such as salad, rice, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
