Taco Filling

Method

Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Prep

    Measure and prepare all filling ingredients: finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and have tomato paste, spices, water, salt, pepper, and lime juice at hand.

  2. 2

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat.

  3. 3

    Add the diced onion and sauté 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent but not browned.

  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Crumble the 6 oz Impossible™ product into the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook 3–4 minutes, breaking pieces with a spatula, until it releases moisture and begins to brown.

  6. 6

    Stir in 1 teaspoon tomato paste, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 2–3 minutes until mixture is saucy and most liquid has evaporated. Taste and adjust salt/pepper as needed.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Keep warm while you prepare tortillas and toppings.

Toppings & Assembly

  1. 8

    Warm the 2 tortillas: heat a dry skillet over medium-high and warm each tortilla 20–30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred in spots. Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 20–25 seconds.

  2. 9

    Place each warmed tortilla on a plate. Divide the prepared Impossible filling evenly between the two tortillas (about 3 oz filling per taco).

  3. 10

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce (about 2 tablespoons per taco), shredded cheese (about 2 tablespoons per taco), and diced tomatoes (about 1–2 tablespoons per taco).

  4. 11

    Add pickled red onion (about 1 tablespoon per taco) and sprinkle with chopped cilantro to taste.

  5. 12

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon sour cream (or vegan crema) across the two tacos (use remaining for serving) and add hot sauce if desired.

  6. 13

    Serve immediately with a lime wedge alongside for squeezing over the tacos.
