  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add vegetarian beef crumbles, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, and onion powder. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
  • Add cream cheese, nutritional yeast, and salt. Cook until cheese is melted and everything is evenly combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
