Cooking Steps
- Add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return orzo to the same pot, off heat.
- Add half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Stir until melted, 1-2 min. Cover and set aside.
- Meanwhile core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Cut open one end of tortilla chip package. Using a rolling pin or pot, crush chips in packaging until approx. 1/2 inch in size.
- Add crumbled chips and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet.
- Season with 1 tsp (2 tsp) Mexican Seasoning. Toss to coat.
- Bake in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until toasted and fragrant, 2-3 min.
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® patties and peppers.
- Cook, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy, 5-6 min.**
- Add broth concentrates, tomato sauce base, remaining garlic salt, remaining Mexican Seasoning and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) reserved pasta water. Stir to combine.
- Add orzo and spinach to the pan with Beyond Meat®.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. (NOTE: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, carefully transfer mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish [9x13-inch for 4 ppl]).
- Sprinkle tortilla crumble over top.
- Sprinkle cheese over top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese is melted, 3-5 min.
- Divide baked orzo between bowls.
