Vegan Chorizo Street Tacos – FRESH. OUT.

Healthy plant-based Chorizo made with Beyond is the star of our Vegan Chorizo Street Tacos. This quick and versatile chorizo recipe can be served with cauliflower rice, used in salads and bowls – you name it. We’re using street sized tortillas to make these little wonders, piled high with veggies and our Vegan Creamy Avocado Cilantro Dip, which doubles as a sauce. Great in lettuce cups, too.

Make it your own, and mix ahead of time. The trick to great flavor is resting overnight before cooking. Don’t worry, carnivores, we have a healthy version for you, too.

Preparing the Chorizo

  1. Combine all spices in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Place Beyond in a large bowl, add vinegar, and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Mix thoroughly with a silicone spatula until spices are incorporated fully, then wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate at least 4 hours (best refrigerated overnight). Make it hot or mild but mix it ahead of time. The resting time is key to flavor.

Cooking the Chorizo

  1. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat, add oil to coat the bottom of the pan, then add the chorizo mixture. Working quickly, press the mixture into an even, thin layer with the back of a spatula. Let cook one minute.
  2. Flip and cook for one minute, then break up into chunks and continue cooking, stirring as needed for 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and excess liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and serve immediately with taco options of your choice or in bowls or salads.

*We use significantly less salt than traditional chorizo, and ground meat replacements like LightLife, Impossible, Beyond, etc., can be a bit salty on their own. Start with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and season to taste once cooked.

Nutrition information will vary depending on tortillas and toppings.

Refrigerate leftover chorizo in a glass airtight container up to 4 days. Reheat gently with a spoonful of water to avoid drying.
