🧾 Ingredients and substitutions
- Soyrizo - this is a spicy vegan "meat" made from soy. You can find it at Trader Joe's, some specialty grocery stores, or easily make your own soyrizo.
- Cream Cheese - You can use the vegan cream cheese from Trader Joe’s for 1 stop shopping if you want to keep it super simple. If you have the time, it is also very easy to make your own homemade vegan cream cheese in about 5 minutes. (You can also use any vegan variety of cream cheese or soy chorizo that you would like).
🥄 Instructions
- Simply, open a package of soy chorizo (cut and empty the plastic tubing into a frying pan). Or make your own soy chorizo.
- Fry over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to brown slightly and then turn off the heat.
- Put a full 8 oz container of 1 cup of vegan cream cheese into a mixing bowl.
- Scoop out 1/2 cup of cooked chorizo and set aside.
- Mix the remaining chorizo with the vegan cream cheese until well blended.
- Put in a serving dish and then sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of soy chorizo that you had set aside.
- Top with some chopped parsley or cilantro for a little decoration.
👩🏻🍳 Pro tips
- The way soy chorizo is packaged can be a little confusing. Make sure to cut away the plastic casing and just use the crumbles inside. Don't cook in the casing, it is plastic!
- Most brands of soyrizo don't contain gluten ingredients, however, they are not certified gluten-free.
- If you want a truly gluten-free soyrizo, make your own soyrizo using TVP and spices.
- Some brands occasionally contain milk, so be sure to check the label.
