Healthy Vegetarian Version of Chorizo Tacos!
I have always like the flavor of chorizo – that spicy hot mexican meat that goes good with eggs in the morning; however, I am always open to something new and healthier. A friend of mine shared this mixture with me for lunch one day and I was hooked! When I mentioned this dish online, someone suggested I use soy chorizo from Trader Joe's, so I did! This is just as tasty and a much healthier alternative.
Ingredients:
Soy chorizo from Trader Joe's
1/2 white, yellow or red onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup (or more) cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes that I had in the fridge.)
2-3 dashes Marie Sharp's hot sauce (or substitute one you like or have)
Corn or flour tortillas
Directions:
Take your soy chorizo out of the package and sautee it in avocado or olive oil until well-heated. Add finely chopped white, yellow or red onion and about 1/2 cup of cilantro and continue to heat in the pan. If you have tomatoes, chop them up and add to the mixture.
Spoon some of the mixture in your corn or flour tortillas.
Add chopped lettuce, cheese, avocado or sour cream to your mixture and voila!
Eat up!
You will probably have some of this mixture leftover which you will promptly store in a container and place in your fridge. Try re-heating this up and placing it under a fried egg. Or make a soy chorizo omelette by mixing one egg, fry in a pan and use as your tortilla.
