Soya Mince Veggie Tacos


2 garlic gloves
1/2 An onion
1/2 A fresh chilli (could use dried chilli instead)
Stick of celery
Handful of soya mince
Half a can of tinned tomatoes
1/2 Teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 Teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 Dried Oregano

  • I chopped the celery and onion into fairy small pieces and put into a hot heavy bottomed pan with a little bit of water. 
  •  Once the water has evaporated and the onion and celery have softened, i add a small amount of olive oil to the pan and chuck the chilli, garlic and cumin seeds in to cook in the oil.
  • Add the soya mince and stir for a little while.
  • Next i add the tinned tomatoes, paprika and oregano (salt and pepper to taste)
  • Leave to simmer on a low heat.Once the soya mince has warmed through and hopefully absorbed some of the sauce, pop taco shells in the oven for a couple mins to heat, then serve!
I like to have some fresh/raw stuff with this dish so as to liven it up abit. A tomato and onion salad type thing is always nice, also some cut up avocado goes nicely (could make a guacamole). And some grated cheese finally.
