Taco, Taco, Taco Bell. No, not really.

Vegetarian Tacos with Salsa

12 taco shells
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lb. fake ground beef OR one cup TVP in one cup boiling water
2 tablespoons ketchup

salsa and other fixings such as cheese, sour cream, avocado, etc.

Turn on oven, put in shells.

Warm TVP, stir in spices. Add ketchup, reduce the heat to medium and cook for five minutes, stir occasionally.

The mixture should vaguely resemble ground beef when it's ready.

Simple Salsa

1 clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed.
1/2 lime
1 can tomatoes with chilies, drained as best you can

Peel the garlic and drop in food processor. Let it run for a little while, til it's finely chopped. Add the cilantro and pulse to chop fine. Add tomatoes and pulse for 2-3 times for chunky salsa, or longer for smoother. Add lime juice, somewhere in there.

Serve at once, or refrigerate until ready to serve. We use this for everything, recipes that whatever funky salsa you picked up might not work in, like mango salsa or pineapple. Go crazy!
