Vegan soft tacos

The BEST vegan dinner - easy, nutritious and DELICIOUS!

Okay, I know that sounds a little over the top, but this is my go to recipe. It's so yummy you can serve it to vegans and non vegans a like. It takes 10 minutes to make and it's good for you.

What's not to love?

I start by making a quick fresh salsa

3 to 4 tomatoes chopped
1/2 onion finely chopped
handful of fresh cilantro finely chopped
a few squeezes of a fresh lime
1/2 jalapeno finely chopped (if you like the spice, if not eliminate this ingredient)
salt to taste


You will need;

soft corn tortillas
1 can pinto beans
vegan shredded cheese (I like Daiya)
vegan chorizo
cabbage and lettuce finely shredded mixed together
avocado sliced

I like to make them on a cast iron griddle, but if you don't have one, a heavy bottomed fry pan will do.
Put a little olive oil on the pan to stop the tortillas from sticking.

I get 4 tortillas at one time on my griddle. Heat on one side without browning, takes a minute or two.
Turn them over and immediately, sprinkle some cheese on each one. When it starts to melt add some drained warmed pinto beans on each tortilla and some warmed chorizo. Don't add too much, you don't need to. Put a few pieces of avocado on each tortilla. Serve immediately.

Serve with shredded cabbage/lettuce mix, fresh salsa and your favorite hot sauce.
