The method
Step by step
- 1
Place the dried soy curls in a heatproof bowl and pour hot vegetable broth over them.

- 2
Let the soy curls rehydrate for 10-15 minutes until tender, then drain thoroughly and gently squeeze out any excess liquid.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Squeezing out liquid helps them absorb the marinade better and get a crispier texture.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
About 2 min
