2 tablespoons grape seed oil
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions:

  1. Combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, onion powder and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl, stir in the vegetable broth and mix scraping the sides of the bowl until it forms a sponge like dough ball. The dough should not be excessively dry or wet or sticky. Knead the dough for just one minute until it begins to feel elastic and firm. Divide the dough into five equal parts and set aside.
  2. Place six cups filtered water in a medium skillet, add the molasses and tamari. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Place the five wheat meat dough balls into the simmering broth and continue cooking on low heat simmering for one hour, stir occasionally turning the pieces in the broth to cook evenly. Remove the wheat meat from the broth after cooking and let cool.
  3. While the meat is simmering prepare the marinade in 9x13 in pyrex or casserole dish, stir well and set aside.
  4. Slice the cooled meat using into thin pieces and place them in the marinade. Place the meat and marinade then cover and transfer to the refrigerator and allow it to marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
  5. Heat a barbecue grill to medium high, lightly oil a grill sheet or grill basket and grill each piece 2-3 minutes on each side until it begins to brown. Transfer the cooked meat to a cutting board and chop into small pieces.
  6. Prepare all the accompaniments, heat the tortillas and serve. The marinade can be used again, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and make a second batch!
