Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
18 ounces soy chorizo
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tomatoes, diced
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 package chicken taco seasoning mix
1/2 bunch cilantro
4 (8-inch) wheat soft taco shells
1 (8 ounce) package vegan Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Combine onion and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chorizo, black beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and green chiles. Cook until bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and cilantro and remove from heat.
3 Spread 1 cup of the chorizo mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Add 2 tortillas to cover. Add half the remaining chorizo mixture and top with vegan Cheddar cheese. Add remaining tortilla shells and remaining chorizo mixture.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling hot, about 30 minutes.
