I'm not vegan or even vegetarian but I'll eat vegetarian stuff frequently because of my daughter. She recently discovered Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo. The smell of this stuff cooking is out of this world. My husband is a definite carnivore and he's enjoyed this mixture. It's basically, the soy chorizo sauteed with lots of veggies and used to fill a burrito. I enjoy this with crumbled goat cheese which is obviously not vegan. For true vegan, just omit it. I must apologize in advance if this makes way more than 6 burritos. I'm estimating as when I've made this I've only made one or two burritos and then had plenty of leftovers. By the way, this is my own recipe which is why I do not have any nutritional info. Feel free to change up the veggies any way you like. I used pre-packaged cabbage and green beans because those are two vegetables I hate to prepare. Also, feel free to use pre-sliced peppers and onions from the grocery salad bar. Just avoid using frozen as they tend to get soggy. Also, feel free to go full carnivore and use real Spanish chorizo or Portuguese chourico.
