Cooking Steps
- To a large pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- 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 for 1-2 min, until melted. 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.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add crumbled chips and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
- Season with 1 tsp (2 tsp) Mexican Seasoning. Toss to coat.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 2-3 min, stirring halfway through, until toasted and fragrant.
- 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 for 5-6 min, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy.**
- 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 servings]).
- Sprinkle tortilla crumble and cheese over top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 3-5 min, until cheese is melted.
- Divide baked Beyond Meat® orzo between bowls.
- Dollop sour cream over top.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.
If you've opted to get Beyond Meat®, cook for 5-6 min, in the same way as the beef, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
