    That's a lot like the taco salads I made a Taco Bell (and a lot healthier too).

    The Chili Taco Salad looked easy to me. I liked the look of your recipe
    too. Here's one for Chile Con "Carne".

    Title: Chili Con Carne
    Categories: Chili, Vegetarian
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 c Dry red kidney beans;
    - soaked overnight
    1 c TVP
    1 1/2 c Potato; diced
    1 Green or red pepper; chopped
    1 Celery rib; up to 2, chopped
    2 Carrots; peeled; chopped
    1 tb Fresh ginger; ground
    3/4 tb Ground coriander
    2 Mild red chiles;

    1 ts Asafetida (Hing)
    3 tb Oil; for sauteing
    2 tb Yeast extract -OR-
    4 tb Soy sauce
    1 1/2 sm Cans tomato paste

    Rinse and cook the beans until soft. Meanwhile, soak the TVP in enough
    water to cover it. Chop all the vegetables and saute them with the
    herbs and spices, including chilis, for 7 to 8 minutes, then add the
    TVP and cover the stew with enough water or bean stock to simmer the
    TVP and vegetables. When they're nearly soft, add beans, salt, yeast
    extract or soy sauce, and tomato paste. Simmer for another 15 to 20
    minutes, until thick, stirring often. Serve with brown rice and
    chopped cilantro leaves.

    Chili Con TVP? XD

    Personally I'd use tofu in this raether than TVP as TVP is more processed and has a stiffer texture (IMNSHO).

    MMMMM

    My thoughts on this is I would use olive or coconut oil that the vegetable
    oil. Much better for you. I mean, twelve cups of broccoli...you can't go wrong. XD

    Title: Homemade Tofu
    Categories: Tofu, Vegetarian
    Yield: 100 servings

    125 g Dried soya beans
    1 l Water
    4 tb Lime or lemon juice
    2 ts Calcium sulphate;
    - coagulates & adds calcium

    MMMMM-------------------------EQUIPMENT------------------------------
    Blender
    Muslin cloth
    Tofu press

    Soak the dry beans in a large bowl of water overnight. Place the
    re-hydrated beans in a blender with 1 Liter of water. Blend for at
    least 5 minutes. Empty the mushed bean & water mix into the muslin
    cloth over a pan. Squeeze out the 'Soya Milk' into the pan, this can
    take some time. The muslin should now contain an almost dry pulp,
    this is Okara, it can be used in other 'Okara recipes' (search!)

    The milk now has to be heated over 85?C, bring to a boil & monitor
    temperature. Mix a little water into the Calcium Sulphate to form a
    paste. Once over 85?C allow to cool to between 70 to 80?C. Add the
    calcium sulphate paste & the lime/lemon juice & stir only twice.

    This will now start to congeal, leave the pan to cool. Once cooled,
    drain the excess liquid & pour into a muslin lined tofu press. Press
    to remove the water & follow instructions for your press. This is
    usually applying weight to the press & leaving it for a few hours.

    Once firm, it can be stored in fresh water in a fridge for a week.
    Change the water every day.
