Vegan Mexican Style Potatoes with Chorizo

I think it’s impossible I don’t like any potato recipe. I eat potatoes very often, especially baked or steamed because they’re lighter and healthier and I don’t add any oil. On a daily basis, I prefer to eat potatoes with low fat sauces, but sometimes I prefer something special. Chorizo is from Spain, but I’ve used our homemade enchilada sauce and also our homemade sour cream, which are Mexican sauces, that’s why I’ve called this recipe Mexican style potatoes with chorizo.

My diet is quite simple and I don’t usually eat any meat substitute, only when I go to a restaurant or when I make a recipe for the blog. I bought a pair of chorizos a few months ago, I used one to make these vegan zucchini pizza boats and the other one to make this recipe. This chorizo is awesome, I couldn’t notice any difference with the traditional one and is much healthier.

The recipe is really easy to make, you only need to bake the potatoes, fry the chorizo with a little bit of oil and make the sauces, that’s all. You don’t need to use both sauces, but your potatoes will taste better if you do.

If you’re looking for a simpler enchilada sauce recipe you can also use tomato sauce and add some spices, although this homemade sauce is really easy and it’s totally worth it. In addition, you can make extra sauce and make these delicious vegan sweet potato and black bean enchiladas.

This amazing chorizo is not gluten-free, but if you’re a celiac or you’re following a gluten-free diet you can also use soyrizo or even remove it. This chorizo tastes really good and I love to eat it with bread, I can’t believe it’s not really chorizo! In addition, it has much less fat and is also cruelty-free.

As you can see, you can bake the potatoes with no oil and they are really delectable, but you can add oil if you want, although I think it’s not necessary, especially if you eat them with some sauce.

The homemade sour sauce is ready in only 2 minutes, you only need to place all the ingredients in a blender and blend blend blend. It’s vegan and low in fat.

It’s super easy to be vegan! We can enjoy a lot of delicious healthy recipes, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! If you wanna be vegan and don’t know how, you can send me an email, I’ll try to help you. I’m healthier and happier now, and you can do it too! If you don’t wanna be vegan, at least try to incorporate more vegan meals in your diet like these vegan Mexican style potatoes with chorizo, you won’t notice the difference, I promise!
