Taco Bar Setup
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Lay out your taco bar in this order: begin with tortillas, lettuce ribbons, rice, beans, sweet potatoes, tofu (if using), mango, bell pepper, carrots, avocados, followed by salsa and hot sauce.
- 2Allow guests to assemble their own tacos with their preferred combination of ingredients.
- 3Serve immediately while ingredients are fresh and warm components are still hot.
Chorizo Tempeh or Tofu (Optional)
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Make the chorizo sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, turmeric, oregano, smoked paprika, pepper, vinegar, tamari, and 3 tablespoons of water.
- 2In a large non-stick pan over medium high heat, cook the onions (add water to prevent sticking if necessary, no oil). Stir until they are translucent, about 3 minutes.
- 3Add the crumbled tempeh or tofu and liquid smoke. Stir until well mixed and the tempeh or tofu becomes well browned.
- 4Lower heat to medium low, and add chorizo sauce. Stir continuously until everything is well coated.
- 5If the sauce is sticking to the pan too much, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and decrease the heat to low.
- 6The chorizo is ready when most of the sauce has cooked off and the tempeh or tofu is well coated and fragrant, about 5-8 minutes.
