Heat 3 tablespoons of Nutrioli soybean oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Add the chopped carrots to the base of a food processor and pulse until fine. Add the crumbled tofu and pulse until the mixture is the size of ground meat.

Add the carrot-tofu mixture to the heated pan and cook for 5 minutes untouched. Stir and continue to cook until the mixture has browned.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, oregano, garlic powder, coffee grounds, and cinnamon with 1 teaspoon of salt.

Sprinkle the spices over the browned tofu mixture and stir. Add in the tomato paste, chopped chipotle pepper, and chipotle sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize.

Finish by adding in the soy sauce for a nice umami flavor, and stir to combine.

While the soy chorizo finishes cooking, mix the yogurt with the juice and zest from half a lime in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.

Place the avocado on a cutting board and squeeze the juice from the remaining lime half over the top. Using a fork, mash the avocado with a tablespoon of cilantro stems and a tablespoon of chopped carrot tops. Season with salt.

Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla in the pan to warm for 10 seconds and then flip and warm for another 10 seconds. Remove to a plate and cover with a tea towel. Repeat until all tortillas have been heated through.

When the soy chorizo is cooked, build the tacos by adding a spoonful of chorizo to the middle of a warmed tortilla. Top with lime soy milk yogurt, some smashed avocado, and cilantro leaves.
