Soak 1 1/2 cups TVP in 1 1/3 cups boiling water for 10 minutes (turn
fire off, do not boil the TVP). Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, with
the soaked TVP in 5 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper, chili
powder, garlic powder and soy sauce.

Simmer TVP together with:

2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp unrefined sugar

That recipe leaves out the refried beans. That's the best part of a burrito!

What is TVP and TSP?

Textured vegetable protein (TVP) and textured soy protein (TSP) are
made from soy products containing protein. Defatted soy flour and
concentrates can be extruded. The combination of high shear, high
temperature, and high pressure produce the texturing. Soy isolate can
be textured by a spinning process that includes a pH change. This
texturing process causes the protein to form fibers. The textured
products contain mostly protein and less than one percent oil.
Textured soy will maintain its meaty texture after it has been soaked
in water and cooked. This product is often used as a meat extender and
as a meat analog (substitute). The most common form or size is as a
dry granule, which is rehydrated prior to use. Dry textured soy will
contain, depending on the starting material ( soy flour, concentrate,
or isolate), from 55 to 90 percent protein. After it is rehydrated,
the protein content of the textured soy will be 20 percent (or
higher), which is similar to the protein content of many meats. The
protein quality is excellent. To locate companies selling TVP and TSP

You can buy it in most healthfood stores or online.

I sometimes use 'chili beans' to give a different texture as
MrsFalafel does not like refried beans.
