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 turkey and peppers.
- Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 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 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.
- Dollop sour cream over top.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.
If you've opted to get turkey, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef. Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
