Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4–5 minutes.

  2. Add the plant-based ground and continue to cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until crumbly and browned, 6–7 minutes.

  3. Add broth, tomato sauce, coconut aminos, chili powder, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine until heated through and the sauce thickens, 2–3 minutes.

  4. Split the buns apart and divide between plates. Top with 1 cup of filling per half bun.
