For the vegan chorizo, in a processor blend the chickpeas with the walnut, being careful not to completely break them down; it should have a coarse texture. In a pan, add the olive oil and sauté the onion, add the garlic and the processor mixture, then add the paprika, cumin, chili powder, thyme, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, cloves, grain salt, and red wine vinegar. Cook for 10 minutes until all ingredients are incorporated and the walnuts release their oil. For the cream, in a processor add the avocado, almond milk, lemon juice, salt, and blend until you obtain a creamy and smooth puree. Serve the vegan chorizo on a toast with refried beans, decorate with lettuce, avocado cream, vegan cream, and cilantro. Enjoy.
