Chorizo & Veggie Taco Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8 oz chorizo (I used Cacique soy chorizo for this particular recipe)
- 1 whole sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes
- 1 cup brussels sprouts, quartered
- 1 Vidalia or sweet yellow onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tbsp Heckdust OR 1 tbsp smoked paprika + 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 8-10 corn tortillas
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°F.
- In a cast iron pan or heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high. Add chorizo, sweet potato, brussels sprouts, and onion and sauté until everything is browning on the edges. Brussels may blacken; this is normal. Add seasonings and reduce heat to low. Hold hot.
- Arrange tortillas in a single layer on an unlined baking sheet. Place in oven for 5-8 minutes, or until tortillas have softened and warmed. Add to a plate and spoon in chorizo and veggie mixture.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and your favorite salsa.
OMG thank you for turning me on to Cacique chorizo! This is the best vegan stuff Ive found.
OMG, this sounds completely amazing! I’ve never heard of this brand of soyrizo, either! I’m going to have to hunt for it now.
