Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- Rice paper (about 8 sheets)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat on the gas stove, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
- Season the Beef: Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat. Stir in the oregano and taco seasoning, mixing well. Pour in the soy milk and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the yeast with a tablespoon of warm water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Combine: Add the frothy yeast mixture to the beef mixture, stirring well to combine. This will help to add a slight fluffiness to the filling.
- Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until pliable. Remove and lay flat on a clean surface.
- Fill the Wraps: Place a generous spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each rice paper sheet. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to create a wrap.
- Deep Fry: Heat oil in the deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the rice paper wraps into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Arrange the crispy wraps on a platter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
These Savory Soy Beef Tacos are a fun and innovative twist on traditional tacos, bringing together unique flavors and textures. Enjoy them with friends and family for a delightful meal that everyone will love!
