Attention vegetarian/vegan friends: TVP (textured vegetable protein) is awesome. 1 cup TVP + 1 cup water = 1 pound of ground beef or a package of Boca crumbles (for taco filling, add 2 tbsp taco seasoning and 1 tsp salt). At ₱80/pound, making a batch ends up costing 42 cents. It’s fantastic in chili, too.
