I read a lot about Trader Joe's products and one of the products there that's an absolute legend is the soy chorizo. At some point, the soy chorizo disappeared from the shelves and people went crazy. It popped back up again recently. Since we weren't able to try it before, I picked up one package on a recent trip to Trader Joe's to see if it was as good as everyone said it was. A was skeptical at first because why take a perfectly good chorizo and make it soy?
The soy chorizo comes in one long tube. You have to remove the casing before cooking, and when you do, it's like a crumbled meat product. Perfect for what we wanted to use it for - chorizo, potato, and onion tacos. The chorizo was so good - full of spices and really tasty on its own. We didn't have to add any flavoring at all to the chorizo taco mixture.
I've heard rumors that the soy chorizo is being discontinued again because the new version has milk powder in it which means vegans can't eat it. Seems a little strange to sell a soy meat product that vegans can't eat, but luckily, this doesn't affect us. Hopefully we can get back to the store and get some more packages before it's gone again, because who knows how long we'll have to wait after that!
Buy Again? Yes, 100% yes. I knew this had to be good when so many non-vegetarians were saying this was a "must have" item, and they were completely right.
