Easy Tofu Chorizo Recipes

EASY TOFU CHORIZO

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the spice blend and set aside. It makes about ¼ cup, or 4 tablespoons. You may or may not decide to use all of it, depending on the desired level of spiciness and flavor.
• Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil. Once hot, add 3 to 3 1/2 tablespoons of the spice blend directly to the oil, and stir for about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste, and stir to combine.
• Crumble the tofu into the pan. Stir and cook just until it begins to brown. Use a large spoon to break tofu into even smaller pieces while cooking. Add the almond flour, stir, and cook for about 1 minute to toast the almonds. Drizzle with apple cider vinegar, and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more of the spice blend if desired. Remove from heat.
• Use in your favorite dish or let cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

TOFU 'CHORIZO'

Steps:

• Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
• With your hands, crumble tofu into the pan. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet occasionally and adjusting heat as necessary, until tofu browns and crisps as much or as little as you like, anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin and cinnamon; stir and cook, continuing to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan until the mixture is fragrant, a minute or two. Stir in vinegar and adjust the seasoning taste. Garnish with cilantro and scallions and serve with warm corn tortillas or over rice.
