Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 8 ounces soy chorizo, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 green bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 red bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 medium onion, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon paprika, or more to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and onion and cook until slightly soft but still firm, about 5 minutes more. Add water and taco seasoning. Stir until thoroughly mixed and water is bubbly. Reduce heat to medium and let water reduce, 3 to 4 minutes. Add hot sauce and paprika.

Cook's Notes:

You can use homemade taco seasoning - I use the Taco Seasoning I recipe from this site.

I find hot sauce and paprika are crucial to cover the potent soy chorizo aftertaste.

When I make this I get enough filling for about 12 small corn tortilla tacos with approximately 2 tablespoons filling in each.
