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.

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 chorizo and peppers.
Cook, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 5-6 min.**
Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
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 to pan with 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.
