Vegan Potato Soy Chorizo Tacos
Description
This is a vegan version of a very popular Mexican taco recipe where mashed potatoes are mixed with soy chorizo instead of regular chorizo.
Ingredients
•
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
•
12 ounces soy chorizo, crumbled
•
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
Directions
1
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
2
Transfer boiled potatoes to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher, adding reserved cooking water to reach desired consistency.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Cook soy chorizo for 5 minutes. Add mashed potatoes and mix well.
4
Heat tortillas on a hot griddle over medium heat to soften them. Fill them with equal amounts of potato-chorizo mixture. Fold them in half and brush the outside of the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place tacos on the hot griddle and cook, turning once, until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
