Description

Just in time for Taco Tuesday, I give you my newest recipe for Vegan Carne Asada using soy curls. I had them last night and truly thought I was eating is some fancy Mexican Restaurant.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8oz pkg Butler soy curls

Marinade Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium veggie broth
  • 2 Tbs low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 Tbs vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbs molasses
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 Tbs chipotles in adobo (finely chopped)
  • 1 diced jalapeno (seeds & ribs removed)
  • 1/2 cup packed chopped cilantro
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbs mexican oregano
  • 1 Tbs smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbs chili powder
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place soy curls in a large bowl and cover with hot water.  Let them rehydrate while you make the marinade. 
  2. Finely dice all the veggies and place in a large bowl.  Add all the spices and wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  3. Drain the soy curls and squeeze as much moisture out of them as you can.  Then place then in a large ziplock storage bag along with the marinade.  
  4. Allow to marinate for 1 hour, occasionally flipping the bag to mix
  5. Heat a large skiller over med-high heat, then add the contents of the bag
  6. Stir frequently and cook the soy curls until all of the liquid has evaporated and the soy curls begin to brown. 
  7. Serve in your favorite taco shells, tostadas, burritos, salads, rice, what have you. 
  8. I garnished mine with diced red onion and my Green Chile Lime Salad Dressing (watered down a little)
