I am taking the ultimate plunge.
That’s right – I’m going full vegetarian. So long chorizo, adios bacon, see ya never chicken wings! GOOD RIDDANCE!! Why do you ask? Oh, I will tell you why & it is IMPORTANT!
I woke up Friday morning & the thought of eating meat made my skin crawl. That was it. I was done. Cold tofurkey. I wish it was because I cared about animals. I care about Topanga, if that counts.
I will, however, miss seafood. Full veg means no more lil shrimps or crabby cakes or fish tacos……………………….
Dagnabit I forgot about fish tacos this is going to blow chunks.
Time: 25 minutes (prep + cooking) | Serves: 3-4
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. of soyrizo
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 can of black beans, rinsed + drained
- 2 tbsp. of cilantro, chopped
- Tortilla chips, for serving
- S+P, to taste
How to:
- Cook soyrizo according to package directions
- Meanwhile, combine onion + tomatoes + black beans + S+P in a bowl
- Add soyrizo + cilantro to the bowl
- Stir in tortilla chips
- Serve hot with guac or salsa
- Eat it like a salad, eat it like nachos, I don’t care just get it in there

Congratulations! I’ve been veg for 22 years and there is so much amazing food to try and eat, especially in Seattle. My hubby makes “fish”tacos from Garden Fishless Filets, by the way. I never liked seafood, so I don’t care for them, but he’s a meat-eater and thinks they’re great. Congrats again!!

Best of luck to you! I’m mostly vegan (because my husband is and I’m too lazy to make multiple meals), but I still cave sometimes when we go out to eat. He went vegetarian for a year, and then cut out all dairy and eggs. He was a huge seafood fan, so he was pretty happy when we found a good crab cake recipe (with heart of palm) and fish taco recipe (beer battered tofu with old bay and mango salsa – sooo good).
