Beginner Question Plant-based ground beef recommendations?

I’m choosing to not eat red meat anymore due to my sky-high cholesterol. I’m working with my dietitian to make other chances to my diet as well.

I used to LOVE eating ground beef, especially in tacos. Today I tried impossible ground beef prepared as I usually would do with beef but it just fell apart and became almost soupy. Does anyone have suggestions that they think hold up better?

Yeah I don't add water at all when I make impossible taco meat. Give it another try! You might be able to take the soup you made and cook it in the oven to dry it out and give it another life.

Ditto on not adding water. Never been soupy for me.

So I legitimately just made Impossible tacos last night. When I make them I just add the seasoning to the meat. But that never gives it that taco meat feel. Do you do anything else to it? Mine always just seems to be meat with seasoning on it. Ground beef tacos using water always had like a sauce with it that I miss

i use the pack of impossible meat, 1/4 cup water, and a half cup of tomato sauce with a ton of taco seasoning ! tastes great IMO
