• 4 small corn tortillas (warmed for better flexibility)

7. Divide the Soyrizo and potato mixture evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Spicy Soyrizo Stuffed Peppers

Lately, I’ve found myself drawn to the warmth and comfort of dishes that carry a bit of heat, a reminder of the vibrant life outside my kitchen window. These Spicy Soyrizo Stuffed Peppers are a testament to that craving, blending the smoky depth of soyrizo with the sweet embrace of roasted peppers.

Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers, any color (halved and seeded)
• 1 cup soyrizo (remove casing if necessary)
• 1 cup cooked quinoa (or any grain you prefer)
• 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed (for added protein)
• 1/4 cup diced onions (yellow or white)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold your pepper halves.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the soyrizo to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Tip: If the mixture sticks, a splash of water can help.

Serve them atop a bed of greens for a contrasting crunch, or alongside a cooling dollop of avocado crema.

Soyrizo Pizza with Jalapeños

Gently, the evening unwinds, and the kitchen becomes a sanctuary where flavors dance and memories are made. Tonight, we’re crafting a Soyrizo Pizza with Jalapeños, a dish that marries the boldness of soyrizo with the fiery kick of jalapeños, all atop a crispy, golden crust.

9. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set slightly.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Soyrizo, crumbled (look for a firm texture to mimic traditional chorizo)
• 4 large flour tortillas (or corn for a gluten-free option)
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (sharp cheddar works too)

6. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining ingredients for the second quesadilla.

6. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the Soyrizo and spinach mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles.
7. Top with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to set for cleaner cuts.

Gently savor the layers of flavor and texture in this lasagna, where the spiciness of the Soyrizo meets the creaminess of the ricotta, all hugged by tender noodles. Serve it with a crisp green salad to balance the richness, or enjoy a slice on its own for a truly satisfying meal.
