There are a surprisingly high number of really delicious ready-made vegetarian products here in the Netherlands. Soyrizo is not among them (specifically, the soyrizo sent from heaven that’s sold at Trader Joe’s).

So when the taco cravings hit recently, I set to work on creating a homemade soyrizo that might fill the void. And with just a handful of ingredients and some crumbled tofu, this homemade soyrizo hit the spot!

What is soyrizo made of?

What is soyrizo? It’s the vegan version of chorizo, a spiced ground pork sausage. This soyrizo recipe is made with firm tofu for that crumbly texture, a blend of spices, and tomato paste to deliciously glue everything together! It’s ready in minutes and is perfect on sandwiches, wraps, salads, and tacos.

You can also use tempeh to make a delicious vegetarian taco meat! It would work well with the soyrizo spices as well.

We’re topping these soyrizo tacos with a quick pickled red cabbage inspired by the taco brunch bars I used to go to in San Antonio. They add color, crunch, and zing that take these tacos to the next level. Not feeling the red cabbage? This Thai cabbage salad would also be delish!

Finally, the adobo crème is an easy combination of adobo sauce, yogurt, and lime (because no taco is complete without a good sauce).
