Vegan Chorizo Tacos With Walnuts and Quinoa |

“Real men eat quinoa”.  Get it?  I mean, I want to be the biggest vegan, Earth-loving, green, environmentally-friendly person on the planet, and I only eat quinoa! Roped into a vegan diet, I have ditched all of my meat-eating culinary stereotypes. For example, quinoa is the “superfood” of the moment and a great replacement for grains you might have come to see as unhealthy, like wheat. Quinoa is also gluten-free and a good source of magnesium, lysine, and phytic acid, which is important for bone health. It has a mild, nutty flavor, similar as to small pasta, and can be incorporated

Here is how this is going to work. I am going to write a recipe that I will then link to a few bloggers who are going to write their own versions of the recipe in the comments section.

Vegan Chorizo combines the tastes of Mexican Chorizo with a crispy and satisfying Walnut and Quinoa foundation for a vegetarian taco.

Chorizo is a popular ingredient in Mexican cooking, and although it has a lot of taste, it’s not the healthiest option. I like coming up with dishes that have comparable tastes but are very healthy. I’ve seen a few vegan chorizo recipes, and some of them call for combining almonds with cauliflower or mushrooms to get the similar texture. I had some tri-color quinoa on hand, so I combined it with walnuts and sundried tomatoes.

This is not a substitute for genuine Mexican chorizo in my opinion. Instead, I consider it a taste replacement with additional health advantages. The crumbly combination would probably work nicely with a refried bean foundation. However, since I was attempting to make it a nutritious dinner, I used spicy guacamole to add creaminess and beneficial fats. I also had some bagged lettuce in the fridge, which I served with a squeeze of lime on the bottom of the tortillas. With a touch of lime or lemon, everything tastes better!

I don’t follow any specific diet apart than avoiding dairy as much as possible. Instead, I consume foods that I like and make healthy substitutions as needed. While I like a nice steak, I also enjoy plant-based meals such as these tacos or my buffalo cauliflower tacos. I like having a wide range of meals to choose from, and I enjoy trying new flavors and sensations. Eat foods that make you happy, and your body will reciprocate.
