Beyonce's Favorite Vegan Dish
These lettuce tacos are a family favorite in our home, and I’m sure they’ll be in yours, too. Keep in mind, when making this recipe, you might want to make an extra batch of the mushroom “chorizo,” and store in the fridge to enjoy with other recipes, like we do. It adds great flavor and a nutritional boost to any meal.
MUSHROOM “CHORIZO” TACOS

- 1 cup sliced mushrooms, any type

TO MAKE THE MUSHROOM “CHORIZO”
- In a food processor, combine all the chorizo ingredients and pulse until crumbly, stopping to scrape down the sides several times. ?
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 5 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the heat. ?
