Preparation
In a large pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Once heated, add meat-free ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
Add onions, garlic, red pepper, and jalapeno, then combine and cook until sautéed, about another 3-4 minutes.
Add spices, tomato paste, and chipotle, combine and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add tomato sauce and vegetable broth, and stir until well combined.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 12-15 minutes to build flavor.
