- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low, and place the dairy-free cheddar cheese slices over the beef substitute mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, taking around 2-3 minutes.

Lightly toast the sandwich rolls on a separate pan or in a toaster.
Step 7
Place a layer of shredded romaine lettuce on the bottom halves of each roll.
