    3. Stir in spice blend to pan and cook 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until well blended. Stir in pepitas and chili sauce, then reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
    4. Halve avocado, remove pit and flesh, and chop flesh finely. Remove cilantro leaves from stems; cut lime into wedges. Warm tortillas following package instructions (if desired). To serve, plate 2 tacos per plate (stacking 2 tortillas together to create 1 taco). Fill tacos with even amounts tempeh chorizo, avocados, remaining ½ cup onions, and cilantro.
