Notes

For a twist, try swapping chorizo for a plant-based sausage or tofu. The dish keeps well in the fridge for 3 days, and flavors improve over time, making it an excellent meal prep option. Freeze portions for up to 3 months. Reheat gently, adding a splash of water or coconut milk to loosen the sauce if needed. Garnish with lime wedges or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for extra flair.
