Instructions
• In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 3-5 minutes. • Add half the Fajita Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step) and a splash of water; cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until veggies are browned and tender, 2-3 minutes more. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Pat steak* dry with paper towels; slice against the grain into ½-inch strips. Season all over with salt and pepper. • In same pan used for veggies, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes.
• Stir in remaining Fajita Spice Blend; cook, stirring occasionally, until steak is cooked to desired doneness, 1-3 minutes more. • Return cooked veggies to pan with steak. Stir in stock concentrate and a big squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the cilantro and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Place rice, steak and veggies, guacamole, pico de gallo (draining first), and red pepper crema in serving bowls. Serve family style with tortillas, remaining lime wedges, and remaining cilantro on the side.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
