Cinnamon-tastic TVP Taco "Meat"

What you need: 

1 cup TVP (textured vegetable protein)
5/8 cup boiling water
1/4 small red onion, roughly chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced or crushed
1/2 to 1 tablespoon sunflower or avocado oil
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 to 3 shakes ground white pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped

What you do: 

1. Boil water in small pot. Once water is boiling, turn off burner and slowly stir in TVP. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes, or until water is completely absorbed.
2. Sauté onion and garlic in the oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes until onion is opaque and garlic is browning.
3. Stir TVP and spices in with garlic and onion and brown TVP for another 2 or 3 minutes.
I like to wrap it in a tortilla and top with chopped tomato, smashed avocado, mixed baby greens, salsa, and vegan Monterey Jack.
