Taco ‘Bout A Game Changer!
When the taco cravings hit, homemade soyrizo tacos are your healthy, flavor-packed solution! Now, you might be wondering, “What is soyrizo?” I’m glad you asked! It’s the vegan version of chorizo, a spiced ground pork sausage popular in Mexican cuisine. With just a handful of pantry staples and some crumbled tofu, you get a plant-based twist on classic chorizo that’s super easy to make and just as satisfying. We’re also topping these soyrizo tacos with quick pickled red cabbage (inspired by the taco brunch bars I used to frequent in San Antonio), creamy avocado slices, and fresh cilantro for the ultimate Taco Tuesday meal!
Grab the Following Ingredients
Tofu: This soy chorizo recipe uses firm tofu for the perfect crumbly texture. You can also use extra-firm tofu in a pinch! Aromatics: We’ll sauté finely diced white onion and fresh garlic in olive oil to give the tofu an irresistible savory punch. Spices: Cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper give the crumbled tofu that classic chorizo flavor. Seasonings: Tomato paste and apple cider vinegar deliciously glue everything together! Creamy Adobo: We’ll make a dreamy adobo with plain Greek yogurt, sauce from a jar or can of chipotle peppers, freshly squeezed lime juice, and a pinch of salt (because no taco is complete without a good sauce). Extras: Lastly, we’ll serve the soyrizo in tortillas (corn or flour), then top it off with pickled red cabbage for a pop of color and zing, sliced avocado for creaminess, and fresh cilantro to take these tacos to the next level.
