For anyone that’s wondering: you can just buy soyrizo (vegan chorizo substitute) here on Amazon. It’s not something you need to make yourself (even though I’m sure there’s probably a recipe out there).
One thing you do need to make yourself (at least for this recipe) is cashew cream. It adds a great dimension of flavor and depth to a recipe that would otherwise be a bit too plain. In my opinion, you need to eat tacos with some sort of sauce anyway, but not everybody seems to feel the same about that!
If you’re interested in an easy-to-make Mexican lunch dish, look no further!

Instructions
To make the cashew cream, blend the soaked and drained cashews with water, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and red bell pepper until they begin to soften.
Add the soyrizo to the skillet and cook according to the package instructions, usually until it’s heated through and slightly crispy.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave.
Assemble the tacos by placing a spoonful of the soyrizo mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado if using.
Drizzle with cashew cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan soyrizo tacos with a dollop of creamy cashew sauce.
