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 🙂

My husband Scott and I began following Protective Diet sometime right around the end of March. We had been 100% plant-based since January 2012 when I randomly ending up watching Forks Over Knives on Netflix to occupy myself one very cold Saturday here in Minnesota. As we do with everything, we plunged in 100% with… Read more or comment “Sharon H”

A new twist!

Three months ago I added Day Fasting and Feasting to my 3 year PD practice. I was so intrigued when Julie started telling us about it and all the possible benefits it could bring.
I began with skipping breakfast ( so approximately 16 hours of fasting, then eating lunch and dinner). Before the first… Read more or comment “A new twist!”

Results are typical on a Protective Diet

Just a little story…… I had a yearly Doctor appt last week. Apparently at one time, (when I weighed 204 lbs!!)they snapped a photo of me sitting in the chair from the iPad they use. The nurse took me back to the room and said apparently you have been up to something because you look… Read more or comment “Results are typical on a Protective Diet”

Results are typical on a Protective Diet

After having 2 babies in 1 year, I was at my heaviest. I discovered when my daughter was 2 weeks old that I have chronic mononucleosis syndrome (chronic mono). By the time she was a year and a half, I had mono twice. It was incredibly difficult trying to take care of 2 little ones… Read more or comment “Results are typical on a Protective Diet”

February will be four years on Protective Diet!

When I was 379 pounds, I never even considered exercising let alone buying a propelled kayak. But my kayak is on layaway and I am so excited for spring 2019 to get out on our beautiful lakes in North Idaho. I’ll be paddling and rowing, taking in the scenery from a whole different perspective. Another… Read more or comment “February will be four years on Protective Diet!”

It’s the small things.
~Like being able to cross your legs without feeling awkward or uncomfortable.
~Or wearing a new pair of shoes that aren’t designed around your Planter’s Fasciitis that no longer exists.
~Going to a party and not feeling the need to eat everything in sight.
