Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • Chop 8 ounces of soy chorizo into small, delectable pieces
  • Dice 2 green bell peppers and 1 red bell pepper into bite-sized chunks
  • Cut 1 medium onion into bite-sized pieces
  • Add ½ cup of water to the mix
  • Incorporate 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning mix for a burst of flavor
  • If desired, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of hot sauce for some extra kick
  • Enhance the taste with 1 teaspoon of paprika, or adjust to your liking

Step 1

Begin by heating up a skillet on medium-high heat and adding a touch of oil to it. Toss in the chorizo and let it sizzle until it takes on a beautiful golden brown hue, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, introduce the vibrant bell peppers and onion into the mix, allowing them to soften slightly while maintaining a pleasant crunch, roughly another 5 minutes.

Step 2

Once the veggies have mingled with the chorizo, sprinkle in some taco seasoning and a splash of water. Give everything a good stir until the mixture is nicely blended and the water starts to bubble. Lower the heat to a medium setting and allow the liquid to simmer and reduce for about 3 to 4 minutes, enhancing the flavors.

Step 3

To add a kick of heat and depth, incorporate a dash of hot sauce and a sprinkle of paprika into the skillet, infusing the dish with a rich and spicy undertone.
