You Don't Want To Miss This Trader Joe's Customer Favorite Vegan Meat

If you're someone who likes to follow a vegan diet, you're probably constantly hunting for the highest quality and tastiest vegan food options out there, especially if you're shopping at a speciality store like Trader Joe's. According to Buzzfeed, there are scores of high-quality vegan products to choose from at TJ's, from their delicious Cashew Fiesta Dip, to the Yellow Jackfruit Curry with Jasmine Rice, the Beef-less Ground Beef, and their fan-tested Cauliflower Gnocchi.

However, there's one vegan product that absolutely wowed at this year's Trader Joe's 12th Annual Customer Choice Awards. Voted as the number one vegan or vegetarian item, Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo placed above vegan kale, cashew, and basil pesto as well as vegetable fried rice for the top spot among customers. Soy Chorizo is a meat replacement product that is a classic fan favorite and has been scoring incredible reviews. Curious? Intrigued? Read on for the full lowdown on this delicious vegan product that is the most popular pick among vegan shoppers at Trader Joe's.

Trader Joe's promises that the Soy Chorizo will "level up taco night." As Insider describes, the legendary product consists of seasoned and spicy soy and lentils that can be prepared in no time at all. Best of all? Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo is not only vegan but also gluten-free.

Regular meat-based chorizo "is a highly seasoned chopped or ground pork sausage used in Spanish and Mexican cuisine," according to Epicurious. From reviews, it looks like vegan Trader Joe's shoppers won't have to skimp on those classic flavors and texture. Instagram user @mollysfoodpage posted a photo of her delicious Soy Chorizo-based dish. They wrote, "Finally tried out @traderjoes soy chorizo, and I highly recommend it! It has a really nice spicy flavor." They said that they used the soy chorizo in a homemade recipe with eggs and added a generous serving of kale for maximum deliciousness. The final result? Well, they loved the dish and didn't need any other additional seasoning at all. Instagrammer @reinspired agreed, "It ... is seasoned to perfection so it can be eaten right off the pan."

A Reddit user praised the product and said they would never make tacos with anything else again. They wrote, "It has so much flavor and the texture is amazing. My pre-veg self would have loved it too." If you're looking for ways to use Soy Chorizo beyond taco night, blogger Thyme and Love recommends using this Trader Joe's product for vegan lentil and chorizo soup, cheesy taco pasta, and chorizo bean dip. Sounds perfect, right?
