This protein-packed Pecan Chorizo is the real deal! It tastes just like the real thing, but better! It’s balanced with savory spices, notes of cinnamon and cloves and has a distinct, yet mild, tang from just a touch of apple cider vinegar. SO delicious!

It’s basically just pecans and spices that you likely already have in your pantry. Plus, it only takes 5 minutes to throw together!
