These are great! I used WW Mexican blend cheese for the cheese but regular sour cream. I found the vegetarian chorizo at Whole Foods -- and we can't wait to have these again!!! No one even suspected we wern't using meat in these! Thanks for sharing this keeper which is a snap to put together!

This was a delicous, inventive dinner. My soyrizo (from Trader Joe's) didn't have cooking directions so I ended up just stir frying it for 10 minutes. I found that the filling was bit bland so stirred in some salsa directly to the mix at the end and sprinkled with cumin. Loved the potato/chorizo mix overall. Thanks for the post.

Very yummy! I used flaxseed/blue corn tortillas which added some more flavor and halved the recipe. I used a Mexican blend of cheese and left out the cilantro(I didn't have any). Great taco! Thanks, made for PRMR game.
