Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- 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.
- To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain orzo, then return to the 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.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then protein shreds and peppers.
- Cook for 6-8 min, tossing occasionally, until cooked through.**
- 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.
- To the pan with protein shreds, add orzo and spinach.
- 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 [9x13-inch] baking dish.)
- Sprinkle tortilla crumble and cheese over top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 3-5 min, until cheese is melted.
- Divide baked orzo between bowls.
- Dollop sour cream over top.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.
If you've opted to get plant-based protein shreds, cook the same way the recipe instructs you to cook beef, tossing occasionally for 6-8 min, until cooked through.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
