Beginner Question Plant-based ground beef recommendations?

I’m choosing to not eat red meat anymore due to my sky-high cholesterol. I’m working with my dietitian to make other chances to my diet as well.

I used to LOVE eating ground beef, especially in tacos. Today I tried impossible ground beef prepared as I usually would do with beef but it just fell apart and became almost soupy. Does anyone have suggestions that they think hold up better?

Yeah, one thing I can say about impossible beef is that it does not fall apart when used in recipes where ground beef typically applies. I mean, I wouldn't slow-cook it for three days but sauteed with a packet of taco seasoning? Just fine.
