Preparation
Step 1
Place the TVP soy chunks in a bowl and cover with the hot vegetable broth. Let soak for 10–15 minutes, or until fully rehydrated.
Step 2
Drain the soy chunks well and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the soy chunks and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.
Step 5
Drizzle the soy sauce over the soy chunks and continue sautéing until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 6
Sprinkle over the chili powder, smoked paprika, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until browned with crispy edges. Taste and adjust the seasoning or spice level.
Step 7
In a medium bowl, combine the mango, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss and set aside.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until mostly smooth. Stir in the white onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 9
Warm the tortillas.
Step 10
Spread a generous layer of guacamole over each tortilla and top with the spicy TVP filling.
Step 11
Spoon the fresh mango salsa over the TVP.
Step 12
Finish with shredded iceberg lettuce, fresh cilantro, and hot sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
