Ingredients

  • ½ package Trader Joe's Soyrizo or other vegan meat alternative
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • cups cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup vegetable broth plus 2 tbsp
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • lime juice to taste
  • cayenne pepper, salt, & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the Soyrizo and break into large chunks. Cook for 3-4 minutes, moving gently.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir into the Soyrizo.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients* and let cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

*I don't recommend using any additional salt if using the Trader Joe's Soyrizo, as it is quite salty as is. The Soyrizo is also a bit spicy, so be sure to taste it first before adding additional cayenne pepper.
