INGREDIENTS

STEP 1

Prep the tofu

First, dry the tofu. Then crumble it into pieces. 

STEP 2

Add Nuts

Place the nuts in a food processor & chop until they are like a “meat-like” consistency. Add to the tofu mixture. 

STEP 3

After that, add all the spices, oil, vinegar and tomato paste to the tofu crumbles. Stir mixture until combined.

STEP 4

Sautè

Next, sautè the chorizo in a skillet, until golden brown & all the water has evaporated. This takes about 5-7 minutes!

SERVE!

Serve immediately, as a filling for tacos, on top of nachos, or however you like!
