Vegan Soyrizo Taco Salad: a Quick Weeknight Meal That’s Delicious Enough for Guests!

You guys are in such a treat for these soyrizo taco salads. They are so so easy and SO SO delicious. I can’t even deal! We don’t eat soyrizo very often because it’s not all that healthy for you, but it sure is tasty.

The first time we tried it we were super impressed. We discovered that regular chorizo does not taste like chorizo because of the meat, but rather because of the spices! And soyrizo is pretty dead on in terms of flavor. We love it.

To make these, you sautee some onions and bell pepper, add garlic and jalapeno, then stir in the soyrizo and a can of tomatoes. Then you let it warm up and ta-da! You’re done. So super easy.

You pile it on top of a handful of smashed corn tortilla chips (learn to make yours from scratch here) and some lettuce, then finish it off with the oh-so-necessary salsa and cilantro. If you like sour cream and cheese (even vegan versions!) go ahead and add them, too. And then you shovel.

I am a little tiny bit sad because I made this taco salad on the same day that I made the ahhhmazing Vegan Jalapeno Poppers, and I definitely intended to put some of those in this here salad. But I totally forgot, and didn’t remember until I was done with the photos.

But then I realized that most people probably wouldn’t want to make them both on the same day, so I left them out. However. If you feel like making this meal super extra rad, then go ahead and throw some of those babies in. It will be fantastic, I promise.

It takes a minute to get the hang of eating these because you have to figure out how to get a chip on your fork without just crushing it, but I have faith in you. It just takes a bit of scooping while stabbing, which isn’t really all that difficult. And after the the first bite, you will totally forget about that minor difficulty because, come on, it’s a soyrizo taco salad! You know you’ll love it.
