Scrumptious Soyrizo Skillet

This easy-to-make vegan meal serves up a dish suitable for either breakfast or dinner for up to four. We like to use Trader Joe's brand soy chorizo, but any brand will do.

This is a quick, simple, and healthy dish that will leave both your taste buds and tummy satisfied.
