   2       tb           Cumin
   1       tb           Paprika

   1       tb           Lemon juice
                        Salt, pepper to taste
                        Tabasco to taste
   1       c            Textured Vegetable Protein

   Saute onions, garlic, and peppers in oil until onions
  are translucent. Add spices and simmer for two
  minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding the TVP®
  last. You can adjust the amount of TVP® to obtain the
  desired texture and consistency. You can substitute
  beer for the water for a more unique flavor. One
  jalapeno makes a mild chili (two were used for the
  cookoff). Simmer from four to six hours. It's even
  better the next day.
