TVP Tacos

Disappointing, so we give the recipe a 2 out of a 1 - 5 rating. Too salty and not spicy enough for our family. However, the basic idea is great and we can adjust the recipe to our taste by cutting the recipe in half, omitting the soy sauce, adding more peppers, and extra prepared taco seasoning. In a pinch, we'll eat it the way it is!
