If you're looking for a simple plant-based taco recipe that's not only comforting but loaded with flavor, these Soyrizo Potato Tacos are for you.
Store-bought meatless chorizo is made with soy and spices like garlic, chilies, and paprika. It's the star of my vegan taco pasta recipe since it cooks quickly and adds incredible flavor to family-favorite dishes.
And when you combine it with crispy and creamy seasoned roasted gold potatoes, it's the perfect taco filling!
This recipe is absolutely amazing! I cannot stop raving about it. My husband doesn’t even like chorizo, and I’m eh on it, but we used the Trader Joe’s soyrizo and it was AMAZING. The potatoes are the perfect addition too. Thank you for this delicious recipe! Will be a staple in our house now. -- Cara

Amy's tip
To warm the tortillas, I recommend heating them in a skillet for about a minute on each side over medium heat. As you heat each one, transfer them to an insulated fabric tortilla warmer to keep them warm and pliable for up to an hour!
Serving suggestions
Soyrizo Potato Tacos are a complete meal on their own. Or you can serve them with vegetable sides like spicy roasted cauliflower or air fried baby carrots.
And while they are perfect any night of the week, I also like to make them during the holidays. They pair perfectly with Mexican Christmas salad and Christmas guacamole.
Storing and freezing
Leftover soyrizo-potato filling can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Recipe FAQs
Generally soyrizo is made from soy protein, oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
Soyrizo is pre-cooked but must be heated through before eaten.
I've personally never eaten chorizo, but many friends tell me they enjoy soy chorizo better than the real thing! It has all the flavor of the fresh Mexican sausage crumble without the meat.

Can you make the chorizo potato filling a day ahead and then rewarm? I am having a lot of people over for a "make your own" taco night with both vegetarian and non veg. options and would like to make as much as I can ahead of time. Thanks for the recipe.
Amy Katz says
Hi Kathleen! Yes, absolutely. It reheats very well.

Don in San Diego says
Thank you so much for this recipe! My family is not vegan (or even fully vegetarian) but we are working steadily in that direction. We are down from eating meat 6 nights per week to just one, and with every new recipe I find that passes the "second helping" test we get a little bit closer. This recipe was a unanimous hit tonight and will definitely be staying in the script.
Amy says
That's wonderful to hear, Don! And good for you for reducing your family's meat consumption.

I made these for dinner last night, (and am eating them for lunch right now) they are delicious!!! My 15 year old son is super picky and he gobbled up 4 tacos! I am new at being vegan and this recipe really hit the spot!
