  1. To a large bowl add a heaping cup of textured soy. Cover completely with hot water. Then add in 2 tsp bouillon paste.
  2. Let it soak for 12 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile roast your jalapeños in oven at 450 F for 9-12 minutes (flipping half way through) or on stove top until charred on both sides. Add peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap & let sit for 6 minutes.
  4. Back to the textured soy, strain and then leave in the same bowl. To a separate bowl add soy sauce or tamari, juice of a lime, 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp ground cumin.  Mix. Then add to the texture soy. Combine well.
  5. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add 3-4 tbsp oil, then once hot add in the texture soy with all the marinade (CAREFUL) when you add it in! Juices may jump!
  6. Let it cook until all the juices have evaporated.
  7. It will evaporate after 5 ish minutes. Season well with salt & pepper. Then add in 1/4 (finely diced) onion and 3 cloves (minced) garlic. Mix to combine. Cook for a few more minutes. Allow for it to get charred and deeper in color. You can add an a optional few spoonfuls of salsa and mix again.
  8. Return to jalapeños. Peel & create a slit to remove seeds. Stuff with vegan cheese. Melt them in an airfryer at 400 for 6 minutes or in the microwave for less then a min.
  9. Form your tacos. Heat up tortilla, add cheese stuffed jalapeño, soy carne asada, salsa, finely diced onion and cilantro and guacamole!
