Soy Chorizo Tostadas
Soy Chorizo Tostadas
Lately, I’ve been really enjoying experimenting with more vegetarian meals. In my experimenting, I’ve run across this amazing plant-based chorizo from Trader Joe’s. I found this chorizo to be well-flavored (and a little spicy!). Not only that but it also took well to a few different spices I added to give it a smoky flavor. You can, of course, swap it out for any protein of your choice when making these Soy Chorizo Tostadas! I can easily see shredded chicken, traditional chorizo, or a tofu scramble being good options here. I still keep coming back to this soy chorizo when I make this at home for the flavor!
Layered on with refried beans, cheese, tomatoes, and some wilted baby spinach, this meal has quickly become a favorite of mine – especially because it comes together so easily!
With Fall in full swing right now, I highly recommend trying my Vegan Pumpkin Enchiladas, if you’re looking for another meat-free recipe!
If you make this recipe, I’d love to see pictures of your creations on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok! Hashtag them #thehappyhaandi. And tag me @thehappyhaandi.
Soy Chorizo Tostadas
Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2-3 cloves Minced Garlic
- 2 tsp Chipotle Powder
- 1 Jalapeno (diced)
- 8 Taco Size Tortilla Shells
- 1 cup Baby Spinach (wilted)
- 2 Roma Tomatoes (diced)
- 14.5 oz Refried Beans
- 12 oz Soy Chorizo (I get mine from Trader Joe's)
Garnishes
- Salsa
- Mexican Cheese
Instructions
For the Tostadas:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.
- On a baking sheet, lay out the taco shells (I did 4 to a pan with only a little overlapping, if needed). To each tortilla, brush a little olive oil on both sides. Bake for 6-7 minutes.
- While the tortillas are in the oven, heat a pan with a little oil. Remove the chorizo from the casing (it should easily peel off) and add to the hot pan.
- As the chorizo is cooking - add and fry the diced jalapeño with the chorizo. Finally, reduce the heat and add in the garlic and chipotle powder. Combine well and remove from heat.
- Once the tortillas come out of the oven, put down a layer of refried beans, the chorizo mixture, baby spinach, and tomatoes. Garnish with cheese and salsa and enjoy!
