# Let's Cook!:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, bell pepper, red onion, soy chorizo, oil, and taco seasoning until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, toss, and bake for another 10-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
03 - Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in the green chiles and broth. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
04 - In a food processor or blender, combine cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, vegan cream cheese, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to thin. Adjust seasoning to taste.
05 - Divide the rice among bowls. Top with the roasted potatoes and drizzle with cilantro lime sauce. Add optional toppings like cilantro, lime wedges, or avocado.

# Cook's Notes:

01 - For extra crispiness, spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding.
02 - Adjust the spice level of the cilantro lime sauce by adding more or less jalapeño.
