Equipment

- 3 tablespoons oil divided
- ½ package soy chorizo 6 oz. - I used ½ package of Trader Joe's soy chorizo.
- 15 ounces canned refried beans
- 3 tablespoons water
- 20 corn tortillas
- 10 slices non-dairy cheese cut in half, to make 20 triangles
- 3 cups iceberg lettuce shredded (1 bag of pre-shredded lettuce or about ⅓ of a head of lettuce)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉, if baking tacos. If using air fryer, skip this step.
- Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and the chorizo. Stir to break up the chorizo and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.3 tablespoons oil, ½ package soy chorizo
- Add refried beans and water to the chorizo. Mix together and heat for 2-3 minutes. Then, turn off heat.15 ounces canned refried beans, 3 tablespoons water
- Heat a flat griddle or wide skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes or until hot. Brush 2 teaspoons of the oil over the griddle. Then, add tortillas, without overlapping them. After 30 seconds, flip tortillas. Immediately add 2 tablespoons filling and one triangle of cheese to each tortilla. Fold tortilla, so it's a half-moon shape, lightly pressing to distribute the filling inside. (If meal prepping these, let them cool on a rack, then freeze.)20 corn tortillas, 10 slices non-dairy cheese
- Repeat until all the filling is gone, oiling the griddle between every 1-2 batches.
- Transfer tacos to air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 5-6 minutes at 400℉. If using the oven, bake at 425℉ for 8-10 minutes, until edges are crunchy.
- Carefully open tacos to add hot sauce (optional) and shredded iceberg lettuce. Enjoy!3 cups iceberg lettuce
