These Sweet Potato Soyrizo Tacos have roasted veggies, crispy soyrizo and a creamy vegan jalapeño yogurt sauce. Perfect for taco Tuesday!
I never need an excuse to make tacos…they are pretty much on repeat at my house. But I love switching up the filling and sauces. These tacos are perfect for fall – the roasted veggies make your house smell so good while they are baking. And you are going to want to put this yogurt sauce on everything!
How to Make the Filling
The filling for these vegan tacos is sweet potato strips (I guess we could technically call them fries), bell pepper, soyrizo and dry seasoning. This is super simple to make. Add the potatoes, bell pepper, oil and seasonings to a baking sheet and toss to coat. Place in the oven for 20 minutes.
Pull the baking sheet out of the oven, add the soyrizo and toss. Put it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until everything is nice and crispy. There should be some char marks on the veggies and the soyrizo should be crispy.
How to Make Jalapeño Yogurt Sauce
I am obsessed with this yogurt sauce! It is creamy, but light. It has the perfect amount of spice and a little tang from the apple cider vinegar.
To make the sauce just add everything to a food processor and blend until smooth. Give it a taste and adjust to your liking. I like to make mine extra spicy and extra tart. But you can easily make yours more mild!
How to Assemble
Serving these tacos is incredibly easy. Heat some flour (or corn) tortillas over an open flame until warmed through and slightly charred. Spread on as much of that yogurt sauce as you can handle, then layer in the veggie/soyrizo mix. Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
These vegan tacos are super easy, totally delicious and a must make!

These were so good! I cut the sweet potato into little cubes instead of the long slices and used zucchini and onion instead of the bell pepper because that’s what I had, but i kept the seasoning as written. And the sauce I kind of winged because my cilantro had gone bad, but it was still really good!
So glad you were able to make it work with what you had on hand!
This was a BIG hit tonight at our house! My meat loving husband was super happy with it and said I could make this again and again, that a rave review.
Wooooo…so glad they were a hit!
These are very tasty, the Chorizo (I prefer Morningstar) are the stars of the dish.
I really enjoyed these!!
The sauce is a great dressing on a salad or just about anything.
Love me some Soyrizo! Glad to find another use for it! I’ve been addicted to using it in my various vegiful frittatas (which also frequently include sweet potatoes!), but it hadn’t occurred to me to Taco them! Def going into the rotation!
Sylvia, I make lentils with taco seasoning and then add chorizo to them, it makes a great taco “meat”.
