Ingredients

• 1 cup Walnuts
• 1 cup Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Oil (coconut or avocado)
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they resemble coarse crumbs, being careful not to over-process into a paste.

Step 2

Add the cauliflower florets to the food processor and pulse again until the mixture resembles ground meat.

Step 3

Transfer the walnut and cauliflower mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Stir in the nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Add the apple cider vinegar, oil, and water to the bowl, and mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture takes on a slightly sticky texture.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chorizo mixture in an even layer.

Step 7

Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes browned and slightly crispy in spots.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary. Serve immediately as a filling or topping, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
