What is a Vegan/ Plant Based “Chorizo”?

Abbot’s butcher Chorizo  is a plant based pea protein made by Abbot’s Butcher which is a Whole30 approved partner. It has super clean ingredients and is gluten free as well as certified vegan. It does not have any preservatives or additives and what I really like about it is that it is already flavored with spices like paprika, cumin, chili powder and onion powder which go very well with the flavor profile of Indian food. I also thought the texture was a lot like ground meat and it tasted great! It also a great macronutrient profile of 15P/6C/6F . Check out the product link above for more details

How to make the “Chorizo” Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

This recipe was an experiment which, if I may say so, was a major success. This “Chorizo” pairs beautifully with the chickpeas and warm Indian spices and aromatics for a delicious lettuce wrap. It comes together in less than 15 minutes. Top it with your favorite Vegan Dressing or Chutney. Try these wraps and tell me you didn’t end up wanting more! These would be a great addition to your next PB whole30!

• Now add in the boiled/canned chickpeas and let them cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. I did not need to add salt to this as the “Chorizo” already had enough salt based on my preference. Let it cool.
