  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Tacos:

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes or salsa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Optional Toppings:

  • Lime wedges
  • Vegan sour cream or cashew crema

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Papas

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 2: Make the Mushroom Chorizo

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
  3. Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the tomato paste and soy sauce. Mix well and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened.

Step 3: Assemble the Tacos

  1. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  2. Fill each tortilla with a scoop of mushroom chorizo, roasted potatoes, and your desired toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
  3. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos and add a dollop of vegan sour cream if desired.

Tips & Variations:

  • Make it spicier: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the mushroom chorizo.
  • Protein boost: Include cooked black beans or chickpeas in the filling.
  • Crunchy twist: Top with crushed tortilla chips or toasted pumpkin seeds.
  • Meal prep: The mushroom chorizo and roasted potatoes can be made ahead and reheated before assembling the tacos.

These Mushroom Chorizo Tacos con Papas are bursting with bold flavors and textures, making them a delicious addition to any meal.
