These vegetarian chorizo tacos are a delicious way to enjoy spicy and savory flavors without meat. The vegetarian chorizo is made from a blend of textured vegetable protein, spices, and sometimes beans. It has a similar texture and flavor to traditional chorizo, but is lower in calories and fat. Combined with sautéed potatoes and onions, shredded cheese and salsa, these tacos are a tasty and filling meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The addition of cilantro and sour cream add a bright and tangy contrast to the spicy chorizo and make it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

1.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and crumble in the vegetarian chorizo. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
2.Add in the chopped onion and potato, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
3.In a separate skillet, heat the tortillas over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side or until lightly toasted.
4.Assemble the tacos by spooning the chorizo mixture into each tortilla, and top with shredded cheese, cilantro, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
