Method
To make the Salsa Verde
Step 1
Place tomatillos and jalapeño on a baking sheet and broil for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine roasted tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, garlic, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and sugar (if needed) and set aside.
To make the Chipotle Aioli
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayo, chopped chipotles, lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Cook the Vegan Choizo
Step 1
Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add vegan ground chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a fork until crumbly, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside.
Cook the Vegan Eggs
Step 1
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and coat lightly with avocado oil spray.
Step 2
Pour the liquid vegan egg into the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir constantly for scrambled eggs, or cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, flip, and cook until set for an omelette-like consistency.
To assemble the Benedict
Step 1
Toast the crumpets or English muffins. Top each half with mashed avocado, a spoonful of salsa verde, cooked vegan chorizo, and the cooked vegan egg.
Step 2
Drizzle with the chipotle aioli and garnish the benedicts with sliced jalapeños and chopped cilantro.
Step 3
Serve immediately.
