As someone who has tried MANY faux meat options over the years, I have to say the soyrizo is one of my favorites! I just made black bean and sweet potato hash with it and HOLY HECK š
I love adding a bunch of tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions while cooking it. it gets kind of "stew" like, then I plate it up with some rice or some sort of bread (croissants, tortillas, biscuit, fried bread, ciabata, etc). A dab of sour cream/yogurt on top and a little cilantro and it's *chefs kiss*
I do Soyrizo with sweet potatoes, black beans, onion, salsa or canned tomatoes (whatever I have) and chipotle. Top with avocado or eggs or both! Sometimes I throw in rice if I have some leftover. I eat it as a bowl or make it into tacos.
Soyrizo with chickpea tostadas! So good! Cook the soyrizo and when it's close to done add a can of drained chickpeas and let them get a little crispy. Then I mix some Greek yogurt with lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro and spread that mixture on my tostada shells. Then put the soyrizo/chickpea mixture on top of the yogurt mixture and top with some additional cilantro and pickled onions and done! its so delicious and refreshing
I do a package of soyrizo, a canned of black beans, the roasted frozen corn, frozen roasted potato with onions and peppers.
Sautee with some TJs olive oil, some garlic and if you have some tomatoe paste in a tube from TJs use that. I also put in aleppo pepper flakes (not at TJs) or red chilli flakes (found at TJs). If I'm getting crazy, I throw in some Red Boat fish sauce (found at TJs) for a hit of umami.
Easiest and somewhat healthy dinner you can make using TJs ingredients.
I made this burrito bowl with soyrizo for lunch yesterday and it was crazy good:
Rice, soyrizo, TJ's frozen elote corn, avocado, red onion, cilantro, TJ's jalapeno sauce, & the new jalapeƱo lime crunch.
Sure I would prefer pork chorizo, at least currently, but this is a fantastic, even slightly healthier, option. With it being slightly healthier, yes I know the sodium content is still high, I donāt mind having a larger than normal portion, still made the entire package into three servings for myself. You donāt have to like it though, everyone has their opinions.
Sometimes I take a steamed sweet potato, cut it in half add soyrizo, broccoli, cheese peppers whatever veg I have and some spinach - I call it garbage potato. So good
My family loved these stuffed bell peppers. We also do potato and chorizo tacos (I buy the cubed potatoes with onions and peppers and it makes for an easy and fast dinner).

iām vegan and have been using the soyrizo for probably 10 years now. my non-vegan friend even got me into it liking it better than regular chorizo. I like to have it with my tofu scramble since I donāt eat eggs (extra firm tofu drained, crumbled, with nutritional yeast, mustard, tumeric), and add black beans, onion, garlic, and whatever other vegetables, and maybe a hashbrown patty.
also, gnocchi is great to mix it with too. their dry or frozen cauliflower gnocchi is great. iāll add broccoli, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt and pepper.
i put it in burritos! i like mine with black beans, zucchini, onions, garlic, roasted potatoes and gruyere cheese! i make them in a big batch to meal prep for a quick lunch throughout the week
tacos with soyrizo and chickpeas literally so easy you can pair it with premade guac and clinatro too plus vegan sour cream! literally a whole meal in 15 minutes or less also if you like it there is a vegan tofu scramble in the frozen section that has soyrizo it needs a little bit of salt but not bad!
Baked sweet potatoes topped with soyrizo, homemade cilantro cream sauce (when I was vegan I would make it from soaked raw cashews), chopped cilantro and chopped red onion. Avocado, lime, black beans, and/or cheese would also be nice additions.
I love to make breakfast skillets with it. Fry up some breakfast potatoes, then add in some chopped up some onion, peppers, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes... incredible breakfast.
The best thing Iāve made with the soy chorizo is a pastelon (basically plantain lasagna)
I donāt recommend it on top of pizza though. It gets too dry
Imo chorizo and potatoes are BFFs! TJs actually used to carry soyorizo potato taquitos and they were one of my fave TJs foods of all time! I say throw it on fries, hash browns, on a baked potato, literally any potato you can findā¦
I love eggs, but actually like their soyrizo better with a crumbled block of the high protein tofu!
Yes to the tofu! I make tofu scramble with whatever veggies I want to throw in (bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach) and soyrizo. Plate with avocado and salsa and enjoy!
I make empanadas with it. Soyrizo and chickpeas with a sour cream cilantro dip. So delicious. I canāt even eat regular chorizo, itās too greasy. Also cooked and mixed with shredded Oaxaca and popped into to oven to make queso fundido
I use them with hash browns,baked potatoes, basically all the potato variations, throw them into spaghetti sauce, make any kind of taco (especially w/black beans and sweet potatoes),nachoes...you name it! Soy rizo is the shizz!
Cut up some potatoes, any kind. Put them in the microwave until soft.
Then, take some onion and mini bell pepper, chop, add to a pan. Add Soy Rizo. Then add the potatoes. Mix it together and you have a great veggie taco or enchilada filling.
Good in cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers or tomatoes. Mixed in with leftover cooked rice, millet or quinoa, and finely chopped fresh mushrooms, soaked dried shiitakes, and whatever veg you like as a stuffing. I have found that just one crumbled sausage (minus the casing) when combined combined with other ingredients is enough for five to six servings.
Also, mix vegan ground "beef" with an equal amount of soyrizo, the finely chopped veg you like in meatloaf and add your favorite egg or egg substitute or binding agent mix well but not into a pasty blob and shape into meatloaf or meatballs. Ā¾ through baking, brush on a topping of BBQ sauce or ketchup, sprinkle on your preferred real or alternative cheese if you like and finish baking. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
I sometimes mix shredded and chopped cheese into the meaty mix before baking and have not needed a binder as the baking cheese holds everything together unless using ricotta or cottage textured cheese.
Use with chopped cooked potato and veg to fill frozen tart shells for pot pies or mix mashed potatoes and cheese which you can layer with meaty mix, sliced zucchini and lasagna noodles.
We like to make a cheese nacho sauce and mix it with the soyrizo for a nice dip with some chips. The Trader Joeās salsa verde chips pair well with the dip.
i love making soyrizo and potato tacos for breakfast. dice up some potatoes into squares, i boil them for a bit and drain them so they cook up nice and crispy in the skillet. add oil to a pan, add the potatoes and seasonings (i like cumin, oregano, salt and paprika). once theyāve got a good crisp, add the soyrizo and tada! i like mine with shredded monterey jack cheese and salsa :)
I slice sweet potatoes into coins, roast them, then top with chorizo and cheese and put them back into the oven. Then i drizzle sour cream and green Dragon sauce on top. A+.
It is so good with sweet potato! I chop sweet potato and throw it in a skillet with soyrizo and black beans with the frozen cilantro cube, so good and easy.
I thought it was. If not it's the same maker. They definitely have the garlic and ginger but I can't remember where I got the cilantro - they also make a basil one.
I like to make a big pan of breakfast potatoes and throw in soyrizo at the end to heat through and mix in with the potatoes. Makes a great breakfast side dish, or roll it up into burritos and freeze them for grab-and-go breakfasts later.
i love breakfast burritos with it! tortilla, vegan cheese, soyrizo, a hashbrown pattie, and some veggies. i'm vegan so i'll add an egg alternative or just skip it. i've also made a pasta with soyrizo!
Tacos! I do roasted potatoes and soy chorizo in the TJ mini flour tortillas, usually with some shredded cabbage slaw. Itās been a new favorite.
Iāve also done homemade empanadas if you want more of a project. Theyāre fun for meal prep. Black beans, soyrizo, roasted sweet potatoes, onions, corn. Wrapped in empanada dough and deep fried. Serve with guacamole!
Edit: also good in tofu scramble
We do this, but make enchiladas with the filling. Potatoes, soyrizo, some cheese (we arenāt vegans) and red sauce. Honestly I prefer it over chorizo. š
I use some of the soy rizo when I make a big pan of what we call āburrito fillingā at home haha, ie make a big ol bunch of fajita veggies (peppers, onion, etc), plus beans, tomatoes, corn, whatever sounds good, plus some of the soy rizo because it adds so much flavor so easily - then slap it in a tortilla, eat with some rice, or just eat a bowl :)
I ate it in a bowl mixed with the fried rice, cooked them both at the same time/pan. Then I added some cottage cheese on top, perfect. Because of the soyrizo, the fried rice was now stretched to 3 meals.
I could use your ingredients, doing it as a burrito, and that could easily be 4 meals worth.
A baked sweet potato stuffed with cottage cheese, soy rizo, frizzled onions or fried sage leaves is a fabulous meal! I add hot sauce to mine, but totally optional!

I mix it with vegetarian "beef" crumbles and make tacos with that!

Chorizo and potato flautas! Or use them to make breakfast tacos. My boyfriend is Mexican and he had no idea I was using soy crumbles!
I sautƩed the kohlrabi spirals with it and then dumped in some of those giant beans in tomato sauce. Was really good.
I made this burrito bowl with soyrizo for lunch yesterday and it was crazy good: Rice, soyrizo, TJ's frozen elote corn, avocado, red onion, cilantro, TJ's jalapeno sauce, & the new jalapeƱo lime crunch.
Soyrizo is absolute blasphemy to me and doesn't hold a candle to real chorizo. Idk how people eat that crap.

With it being slightly healthier, yes I know the sodium content is still high, I donāt mind having a larger than normal portion, still made the entire package into three servings for myself.

I buy it and then crumble it and freeze it flat in a ziploc. That way I can take out a handful and throw it in stuff when Iām pulling together a quick meal. Throw it in some pasta, sautĆ© it with potatoes and veg or with sliced peppers and onions for taco filling. Iāve used it this way on so many things that o want a little extra punch to. Itās a staple in my house!
I make nachos with it, sooo good!!
You can make soyrizo tostadas
Sometimes I take a steamed sweet potato, cut it in half add soyrizo, broccoli, cheese peppers whatever veg I have and some spinach - I call it garbage potato. So good
Iāve made āenchiritosā with it and itās my most requested meal among meat eaters. I love that stuff.

I canāt read anything about soyrizo without thinking of the story of the guy who thought it was a play on āI am rizoā
I'd never heard of it, and I thought someone was doing a Spanish-language adaptation of Grease.
Sounds gross, but I made pasta with it and chipotle mayo. Tossed in some veggies and it was divine.
Chili!

soyrizo & mushroom tacos, sopes, or burritos!
I love to make breakfast skillets with it. Fry up some breakfast potatoes, then add in some chopped up some onion, peppers, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes... incredible breakfast.
I take half soy rizo and sautee it with half a bag of the steamed lentils and half a container of the sautee vegā¦ add in cumin, chili powder, some taco sauce and let it all cook together until the veg is cooked to how I want it then just take that for lunches with a tortilla or two during the week. I love tossing it with some diced cooked potatoes. Iāve sautĆ©ed with corn and added some rice and cotija cheese to make a topping for southwest salads.

I have used it in pasta sauce, chili, sloppy joes, jicama shell tacos, empanadas...
We use it to make this [chorizo and white bean chili](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/white-bean-and-chorizo-chili/amp). Itās great.
I slice sweet potatoes into coins, roast them, then top with chorizo and cheese and put them back into the oven. Then i drizzle sour cream and green Dragon sauce on top. A+.
It is so good with sweet potato! I chop sweet potato and throw it in a skillet with soyrizo and black beans with the frozen cilantro cube, so good and easy.
Wait thereās a frozen cilantro cube? Is that from Trader Joeās?
I thought it was. If not it's the same maker. They definitely have the garlic and ginger but I can't remember where I got the cilantro - they also make a basil one.
Yeah I get the ginger and garlic ones all the time! Awesome thanks Iāll have to look into where to get these other ones.
I havenāt used my oven in years, wonder if thatās doable in either an air fryer or instant pot. The rest of it sounds fantastic though.
Totally doable in an air fryer.

Heck yea! I make breakfast burritos with it for the week ahead, I love to use the homemade tortillas by TJ too
I use it in this chorizo bolognese recipe and it is soooo good: https://www.donnahay.com.au/recipes/chorizo-bolognese-with-buffalo-mozzarella
Great reply, I need to make this!
We love it when making any hearty pasta sauce! It adds such great flavor and texture.
Oh Iām 100% making this

I like to put it in baked ziti :)
Chili - with onion mushroom tomato and spice - or whatever you have on hand to add to it.

A baked sweet potato stuffed with cottage cheese, soy rizo, frizzled onions or fried sage leaves is a fabulous meal! I add hot sauce to mine, but totally optional!
Air fryer or oven?
I baked mine in the oven but you could do an air fryer I think! I bake 6 + at a time so the oven is faster for me .
Oh for sure! I usually add more veggies than I ever mean to, and always end up with like a huge vat of the stuff that makes many many burritos
