Chorizo is a spicy pork sausage originating from the Iberian peninsula, but it has deep roots in Mexican cuisine as well. After I came across a commercial soy version in Los Angeles, I set out to make my own. Because the flavor comes from the spices and not the meat itself, it’s an easy dish to replicate and really tasty! Serve with Tofu Scramble, Spicy Greens, Cornbread, or TVP Tacos.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp granulated garlic powder
- 1¼ tsp granulated onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano or marjoram

How to Make It
- Whisk 2 cups of water with red wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano or marjoram, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, ketchup, and mustard together until well combined.
- Add TVP or quinoa, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring every so often, until all the water has absorbed, about 10 to 20 minutes.

- Set aside, covered, for 15 to 30 minutes to allow flavors to merge before serving.
