South East Queensland hasn’t been looking very much like the ‘Sunshine State’ lately. While you’re cuddled up at home, we bet you’re craving a lovely warm home cooked meal, and since I’m writing this on a Tuesday – it’s also TACO NIGHT.

So I give you, a vegan taco slight spicy recipe, rope the entire family in on this one and make this rainy night just a little less dreary! You’ll want to keep reading for a ton of other taco filling ideas 🌮

Vegan Chorizo Potato Tacos

INGREDIENTS:

• Large Onion
• Soy Chorizo
• Cooked Potatoes
• Tortillas
• For toppings: pico de gallo, vegan sour cream, and avocado

METHOD:

1. Cook the onions over medium high in a wide skillet. Add the chorizo to the onions, break it apart and cook until it’s getting brown.
2. Then, add in your cooked, cubed potato and cook until everything is heated through.
3. Turn a Stove top on low, then add a tortilla to the burner using tongs.
4. Warm the tortilla over the heat for 20-30 seconds, until it’s getting little light brown spots. Then, flip and cook another 20 seconds on the other side. Alternatively, you could warm your tortillas in the microwave.
5. Place all the ingredients together in each tortilla and SERVE.
6. ENJOY 💚
