Ingredients

  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes diced into bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt more or less to taste
  • black pepper freshly ground, to taste
  • 3 cups meatless chorizo crumbles
  • 12 soft white corn taco shells

FOR SERVING:

  • 1 white onion diced
  • cilantro chopped
  • salsa

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
  • Meanwhile, dice the potatoes into bite-size pieces about 3/4-inch or so. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on a rimmed metal baking sheet.
  • Roast on the bottom rack of your preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove and rotate the pan and then move it to the middle rack to finish baking for another 8 to 10 minute or until the potatoes are tender and edges are crispy. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before trying to remove them from pan.
  • Place the vegan chorizo in a skillet, add the potatoes and heat on medium-low until warmed through.
  • Heat a dry skillet [I use cast iron] on medium to medium high heat. Add one white corn tortilla at a time and cook until golden in spots on one side. Transfer to a plate and repeat. This happens quickly so don't walk away at any time. I only toast one side to keep them pliable. For extra crispy tortillas, cook on both sides.
  • Fill the tortillas with the chorizo mixture and top with dice white onion, minced cilantro and any other toppings your heart desires. (see note)

Notes

  1. Note: Although not vegan, I do like to top my tacos with this garlic yogurt sauce. SO good.
