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 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 🙂

November of 2012 a co-worker told me about Forks Over Knives video. Her doctor had told her that she should watch it and give it a try. I had never thought about becoming vegan. I grew up on a dairy farm. Meat, potatoes and cheese were basic staples growing up. I loved my meat and… Read more or comment “Maria A”

I was skeptical… at first!

I have to admit when my mother suggested this idea of no meats, dairy, oils, etc. I was highly skeptical. Those are all the things I love about food! Then we made some of the recipes, starting with sauces like the sweet mustard dressing, ketchup, etc. I loved them. We then moved on to snacks… Read more or comment “I was skeptical… at first!”

Finally!

Even since discovering PD a few years ago, I’ve been all over the place with diets and uncontrolled blood sugar, and recently – scary high tricycerides and cholesterol. I don’t know why it took me so long to realize that this is the best, healthiest way for my body. My blood sugar has NEVER been… Read more or comment “Finally!”

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”

Goodbye spider veins, cellulite & sun damage!

Autophagy (cellular recycling) is happening on the inside and outside of my body. Yesterday’s lounging post-workout pictures. My first day in the sun 2019 getting some vitamin D on my lunch break. My skin is as white as it gets after the cold months of winter. Winter white legs always meant my spider veins and… Read more or comment “Goodbye spider veins, cellulite & sun damage!”

A Tale of Two Sisters

As I pass the August 1, 2016 two-year anniversary of adopting a Protective Diet, I’m reflecting on my journey, and that of my sister, Cathy.

I’ve been a “foodaholic” all of my life. I’m 66 now, and since I was a young girl, I’ve struggled with my weight. I’ve never been considered… Read more or comment “A Tale of Two Sisters”
