Ingredients
  

Spice Blend
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika can sub smoked paprika if desired
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
For sautéing
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 16 oz vegan ground beef

Method
 

Make the spice blend
  1. Combine all ingredients for the spice blend in a small bowl.
Sauté
  1. Add the oil to a saucepan over low-medium heat.
  2. Add the vegan ground beef to the saucepan and begin to cook.
  3. Sprinkle the spice blend overtop and stir until combined. Add water, as needed, to fully mix in the spice blend and keep the "beef" from sticking.
  4. Sauté until the vegan beef is completely cooked (time needed will depend on the brand).
  5. Serve! We love this on nachos, in tacos, or in a taco salad.
