Soyrizo, also known as soy chorizo, is a vegan, plant-based alternative to the flavorful Mexican chorizo. Soyrizo is made from soy protein or textured vegetable protein (TVP) and comes in a two-link package. It has significantly less fat but the same amount of protein as Mexican chorizo, making it a healthier alternative.
Since soyrizo tastes and looks just like chorizo, it is an easy swap for the original ingredient in everything from quesadillas to burgers. If you have this protein-rich ingredient on hand, try making one of these soyrizo recipes for a healthier yet equally delicious chorizo alternative!
