Mom's Tacos

So this recipe was my mom's and they are the most delicious tacos you'll ever have. My boyfriend wants me to make them like 3 times a week :)

1 lb of ground beef (or turkey or chicken!)
2 cloves of garlic
2 white onions
"Soyrizo" (vegan version of chorizo...sold at most major grocery stores in the vegetarian aisle)
Mexican cheese
1 Avocado
1 head of Romain lettuce
1 pkg. of corn tortillas
1 container of sour cream
hot sauce or salsa of your choice

1. Heat a pan on medium high.
2. Chop the garlic and the onion. Place one of the chopped onions in a bowl to use as a topping later.
3. Spray the pan with PAM and add the garlic and one of the chopped onions. Let them sweat (cooked down/well)
4. Once the garlic and onion has cooked down, add the meat. Brown the meat. Once it's browned, lower the heat to low.
5. Drain the fat and add the meat back to the pan.
6. Raise the heat to medium and add 1/2 of the "Soyrizo" and mix it with the meat.
7. While the meat is browning, cut up the tomato, avocado, and lettuce.
8. Once the "Soyrizo" is blended with the meat (it should have a reddish orange color to it), put the meat in a serving bowl. Turn the stove on medium.
9. With the stove on medium, warm the tortillas on both sides until they are browned.
10. Build your tacos and enjoy!

Some mexican or spanish rice and refried beans goes great with this dish!
