Ingredients
  

Couscous (For gluten-free option see notes below)

  • 1 cup whole wheat couscous (uncooked)
  • 2 tbsp taco spice blend
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can whole kernel corn

Vegan Beef

  • 1 ¼ cups TVP
  • 1 ¾ cup veg broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 4 cups baby spinach, chopped

Toppings

  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup salsa
  • ¼ cup greek yogurt or sour cream (vegan)
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Meanwhile, prepare your couscous by combining the taco spice and couscous and following the package instructions. (Typically, add 1.5 cups of boiling water to 1 cup of couscous in a large bowl, cover for 5 minutes then fluff with a fork.) Allow the couscous to cool.
  • Add the black beans and corn into the couscous mixture, stir to combine, then set aside.
  • In a pan on medium heat, add the TVP, veg broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, and taco seasoning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the liquid absorbs. Then add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 mins.
  • Finally, assemble your meals by dividing all ingredients into 4 separate containers. I like to add the avocado the morning of, and squeeze with lime to keep it fresh. Enjoy!

Notes

For a gluten free option, cook ⅔ cup dried quinoa with 1 ⅓ cup water or low sodium veg broth. Use this as the replacement for couscous.
