Plant based Cilantro Lime Tacos

Almost Fat Free Cilantro Lime Tacos Serves 6 +/- 

1/4 cup lime juice or juice from one lime, with zest if you really like lime 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1/2 Teaspoon Agave Nectar
dash cayenne pepper 
1 can black beans, heated in small skillet 
Non-dairy Cheddar cheese shreds (optional or use sparingly)
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro 
1 package shredded cabbage/carrots mix 
(about 4 cups) 
1 tomato, halved and finely sliced 
1 cup beef flavored TVP or two cups soy curls rehydrated in Not-Chicken Bouillon
1 tsp Cumin for seasoning TVP (textured vegetable protein, soaked in water as listed on package) 
1 small cucumber sliced thin 
6 radishes sliced thin or diced small 
Small Corn Tortillas (the lowest fat version you can find)

Combine first six ingredients and whisk to make dressing. Set aside. Toss protein in large bowl with cabbage and cilantro and dressing. Add cucumber, radishes, and tomato last and turn in gently. 
Heat about 4 tortillas per person in very warm skillet with no oil, keep warm until serving. 
Serve with beans, cheese shreds, and hot sauce as desired. 
This is a very light and satisfying meal. Omit cheese and use masa harana tortillas to make it even closer to fat free.
