Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz plant-based ground beef substitute
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Dice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers. Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Set these ingredients aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers start to soften.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and crumble the plant-based ground beef substitute into the skillet.
Add the soy sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the flavors to meld.
Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plant-based ground beef substitute is heated through and the peppers are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot, either on its own or as a filling for tacos, wraps, or stuffed bell peppers.
