Vegetarian Tacos

This recipe is a vegetarian adaptation of the American classic - tacos.  It is infinitely better than any premade taco seasoning, and can be used with any meat substitute (not just quorn).  Adapted from Cooks Illustrated.


Ingredients

1 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T chili powder
1 t cumin
1.4 t cayenne pepper
1 t salt
1/4 c tomato paste
1/2 c broth
2 t cider vinegar
1 t brown sugar
1 T oil
1 package quorn mince

Instructions

1) Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and cook onion in oil until translucent and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
2) Add garlic and spices, stir, and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3) Stir in the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar and sugar.
4) Add quorn, stir, and simmer for a few minutes, until some of the liquid is absorbed.
Serve with taco shells/tortilla wraps, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, salad, and vegetables of your choice.
