- Red/ Green/ Yellow peppers: 1/2 for each; finely diced.
- Jalapenos: 2 or 3 (as per taste); finely diced.
- Bag of chips (I chose Tostitos Restaurant style Triangle corn chips).
- Fake beef: 1/2 pack of Yves Meatless Ground Original.
- Onions: 1/2; finely chopped.
- Cheese: finely grated; I used Marble cheese.
- Worcestershire Sauce: a tbsp
- Garlic powder: according to taste
- Red chili flakes: according to taste
- Frank's Red Hot Sauce: according to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
To make the fake beef ready, we will first warm up a frying pan and grease it with some olive oil. Once the pan is warm enough, add the veggie beef and the finely chopped onions. Add all the spices, the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, red chili flakes, and the hot sauce, to the beef and fry till the onions start to look cooked.
Leave this mix in the pan on low heat to simmer (do not let it burn, however).
Next you will need a baking friendly deep dish. Layer the bottom of the dish with the chips and spread some of the cheese very lightly on it. Microwave this for about 15 seconds on low power, just so the cheese melts, we are simply creating a base here. Then spread the beef and veggies modestly all over. Make sure you DO NOT use all of the material since you are just barely starting to create the multiple layers of deliciousness!
Now you will layer the tray with another layer of chips, then cheese topped with beef and veggies and continue to layer with chips, beef, veggies and cheese and in that order till all the veggies and beef are run out.
After the top layer is done, sprinkle the last of the remaining cheese on the top layer and bake the dish for 6 to 8 minutes or till the cheese is completely melted.
Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
