"Chorizo"

and cheesy tostadas

Aug 17, 2025

For this "chorizo" tostada recipe I reached for a few whole food ingredients not traditionally used. The flavor and texture is just as I was hoping for and this plant-powered chorizo is just as versatile as the meat-based version.

I used cheesy tostadas for this recipe. They are made by baking grated cheddar cheese for about eight to ten minutes. As the cheese melts it forms a light, crunchy, tostada. If you're avoiding cheese, use lentil tortillas or coconut flour tortillas as a tostado base. They won't be as crunchy but they're dairy-free and will still be grain-free.
