These ultimate tacos using Trader Joe's soy chorizo, sweet potatoes, corn and black beans cook up quick in one skillet to make easy work of your next Taco Tuesday celebration. I drizzled these tacos with Avocado-Cilantro cream (recipe included) and served them with homemade saffron rice. So yum.

1/2 red onion, chopped
1 cup frozen corn

1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp oregano

1. If making avocado crema, add all ingredients, plus a pinch of salt, to a blender/food processor and blend until smooth.
2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 Tbsp oil, sauté sweet potato for 3 minutes. Add red onion, corn, cumin, chili powder, oregano and salt. Continue to cook for another 3 minutes.
3. Push the sweet potato mixture to the perimeter of skillet. Add 1 Tbsp oil to the center of skillet. Add soy chorizo and brown, breaking up while cooking, for approximately for 5 minutes. Fold soy chorizo into to sweet potato mixture and continue to cook another 2 minutes. Add the black beans, stir to combine and cook until heated through, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
