We are big fans of chorizo tacos here at Luchito and there is no reason why vegans can’t enjoy the same treat. That’s how this vegan chorizo recipe came to life! For our Vegan Chorizo, we use smoked tofu that’s already packed with flavour. We mixed it with sautéed mushrooms, but the main component is the spicy vegan sauce or adobo that we prepare using our Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste. It’s the key to getting that smoky and spicy chorizo taste and colour. When you prepare this vegan chorizo recipe you can either fry it directly into a warm pan with a bit of olive oil, or you can wrap it with cling film, forming the characteristic chorizo sausage-like shape. Keep it refrigerated and use it within that week, or freeze for up to one month, ready to be used when you need it. Once it’s cooked you can serve your vegan chorizo either with warm Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps, sprinkled over nachos, or as a filling for your quesadillas. Either way, we hope that you’ll enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
