Chorizo Tacos Premium PD Recipe

2015-08-25

In Mexico, tacos are spicy and simple. Fresh corn tortillas layered with meat, onions, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. On a Protective Diet, you will be transported to many cultures, Mexico being one that is close to my now thankful healthy heart. Chorizo is a very spicy sausage that is often removed from the casing and crumbled. This version is free of pork, saturated fat, and the cholesterol of the original. Serve up traditional Mexican flavor in street food fashion with Protective Diet Chorizo Tacos.

    I have the chipotle chili powder but not the smoked. Can I sub some smoked paprika to takes it’s place, and if so, how much chipotle to how much smoked paprika. Thanks

    I love this recipe. I had never had traditional chorizo but did eat a lot of an oil loaded vegan version from Trader Joes. This is just busting with flavor and is delicious on nachos, in tacos and a great salad topper. I always make a double batch. Perfect with Taco Slaw.

    Love this recipe for hurry up days. Big hit with non vegans too. Great with King sauce and strained yogurt.

    This chorizo has completely won over my 15 year old meat loving son. I cannot make any TexMex food without making either this recipe or the BBQ tofu bites.

    Thank you for another winner of a recipe!

    I make the dry spices up ahead of time in a quart container (I use 1/2 cup for each spice) and all I have to do is add 5 tsp per 1 lb of tofu. I usually make 3 lbs at a time, cook and freeze about 2 lbs of the left overs – this makes for a REALLY fast diner for the coming weeks. This is my go-to recipe when I just don’t during the week. I always have taco slaw and yogurt made – so it is a no brainer for fast dinners.

    Sounds delicious. Are there any non-soy substitutes that will work for the tofu?

      I haven’t found one yet that will work this perfectly, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped testing and searching 🙂

  • Plant-Based Nutritional Intervention Results are typical on a Protective Diet Barb’s Testimonial

    I began my PD journey March 1, 2014. It all started because my FB friend posted a food picture from Julie's website protectivediet.com. Since starting protective diet, I have lost a total of 62 lbs in a little over 9 months! I didn't really have any health problems before starting my new plant based diet (that I know of) other than acid reflux, and I did have pretty bad carpel tunnel in my wrists that seems to have disappeared now!! I no longer have acid reflux and now I feel better than ever!!! I am no longer addicted to food or most of all addicted to chocolate!! I am so happy to have found this life style and I will never go back to eating a standard american diet (SAD) again!

  • Plant-Based Nutritional Intervention Results are typical on a Protective Diet Karla’s Testimonial

    December 2, 2013 was the day I changed my life. I found Protective Diet the night before after someone in another plant based group mentioned the name. After going to the website and reading the details, I just knew it was for me! My highest weight, 371 here and my current weight Mid August, 2016. I had lost 92 lbs before adopting a vegan diet nearly a year prior to finding PD. My motivation for eating plant based is to prevent Alzheimer's since many in my family have it. I truly believe this way of eating is for optimal health. By following a Protective Diet I have reversed and eliminated: Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, anxiety, psoriasis (I was on meds for all of these - no meds at all now) as well as plantar fasciitis, oily skin and blackheads, gum disease (I had to have multiple rounds of antibiotics) sleep apnea (no CPAP machine needed anymore) and have now lost a total of 219 lbs. I haven't had a cold or flu in over 3 years. I have great energy, and I've learned that I enjoy cooking because I'd never cooked before PD! I'm 2 lbs from my goal weight but it doesn't matter. My body will get where it needs to be naturally. I love the food. It nourishes my body and my soul and tastes great! My mother had me on my 1st diet when I was in 5th grade and chubby, then I was overweight and then obese for many years. I'm so glad there will never be another "diet" for me. I thank you Julie Marie and Jerry for all you do! I love and appreciate the support we give each other. It's a wonderful life, PD style!
