I am so thankful to live in Southern California. Beyond the beautiful weather and beaches is how the Spanish influence has helped to shape the state.

In addition to their dedication to family and friends the Mexican culture also introduced us to amazing foods. Thanks to Soyrizo and avocados, veganizing Mexican favorites is simple.

As a note there are varying degrees of spiciness in different brands of Soyrizo. I have found the best and mildest to be from El Burrito. In addition to being Vegan it is also Organic, Gluten Free, Non-GMO and contains no preservatives.

ENJOY!

  1. Absolutely awesome!!! What a great one stop dish for the family! I substituted Trader Joe’s shredded Colby Jack soy cheese for the Parmela Creamery Cheddar just because we like that cheese a little better – it turned out wonderful. I’ve planned almost all my meals based off your website…I just can’t tell you how much we are loving every meal you’ve created!!! Thank you Thank you…!!!
