Soy Chorizo Tostadas
These Tostadas come together in no time at all and make for a delicious dinner.
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!
You can get creative with how you layer these ingredients too!
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!
