My fabulous Sister-in-Law Rosie, introduced us to these Chorizo + Shrimp Tostones Bowls, a couple of years ago. I’ve tried to recreate them, without the chorizo (since I stopped eating meat), but I just couldn’t get the flavor right. Until now.
MorningStar Farms® Chorizo Crumbles were EXACTLY what I’ve been missing. I whipped up a test batch, served them to our neighbors and they couldn’t tell that they were meatless! They even came back for seconds.
MorningStar Farms Chorizo Crumbles are vegan, but you don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy them. Shrimp + Chorizo Tostones Bowls make the perfect appetizer for any occasion. Your guests will be begging you for the recipe! You can find them in the frozen foods section at Walmart.

Hello There!
Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing). I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.
Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.
Welcome to The Super Mom Life — where the projects are fun, the coffee is strong, and the laughter is pretty much required for survival. Don't forget to follow us on social media!
oh my! This is something unique. I really love the creativity of this recipe and I bet the taste is so so good.
Chorizos smell heavenly. This I’m pretty sure is not only yummy but also has that fragrance that could wake up anyone from upstairs rooms.
This looks so good and delicious, worth giving a trial someday… Thanks for sharing.
Our family is vegetarian, and we eat a lot of Morningstar products. I haven’t seen this one yet – I’ll have to find it! Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to give this a try and sub out the shrimp.
Must try this over the holiday! I am sure my family loves it
This looks amazing. I have to try this.
If they couldn’t tell it was meatless, that is impressive! I think these Shrimp and Chorizo Tostones Bowls would definitely be worth a try. Thanks for sharing this with us.
