Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is a soy based meat substitute. It is 1 point per 1/4 cup dry for Weight Watchers. I would consider TVP to be a core food.

Steps:
- Pour boiling water into dry TVP granules and stir. Let sit until water is absorbed, about ten minutes.
- Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions turn soft, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add bell pepper and sauté 2 more minute.
- Add TVP, and stir.
- Add tamari and spices, and continue simmering until all ingredients are well-blended.
- Some people like extra tamari or extra spices...adjust according to your taste. Serve in hard taco shells or soft tortillas, with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa, refried beans, etc.
