Vegetarian Taco filling

I love, love, love taco salads! They are probably one of my most favorite things to eat.  I tend to skip the taco shells and just load up on the veggies.  Here is an easy recipe for a completely satisfying taco filling.  I like to add peppers and onions to Quorn beef-style grounds.  It adds to the flavor and helps bulk up the serving size without adding too many calories.

Vegetarian Taco Filling

Ingredients:

• 1 medium size red bell pepper
• 2 medium size green bell peppers
• 1 medium size brown onion
• 1 package Quorn beef-style grounds
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 tbs chopped garlic

Directions:

1. Chop up the peppers and onion.
2. In a pan cook oil and garlic on medium heat for 1 minute.
3. Add chopped peppers and onions, while stirring cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
4. Add Quorn beef-style grounds to the pan as well as a splash of water.  Stir until heated all the way through.
5. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water.  Stir and let simmer for 2 minutes.

*Yields 4 serving (~1 cup each). ~15g protein and 155 calories.  

I usually serve it on a bed of lettuce with a bit of sour cream, Mexican cheese, salsa and fresh tomatoes! If you want to amp up the protein you can always add black beans to your salad.

Happy eating!
