Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • 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 to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; finely dice remaining onion. Zest and halve limes. Peel and mince garlic. Mince cilantro. Halve orange.

Pickle Onion
3
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine sliced onion, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), juice from half the limes, and a pinch of salt. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; microwave until onion is bright pink, 60 seconds.

  • Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

Cook Beans
4
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a second small pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, garlic powder, cumin, half the Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring, until softened and browned, 2-4 minutes.

  • Add beans and their liquid and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Using the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, roughly mash about half the beans. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5-10 minutes.

Make Mojo Sauce
5
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine minced garlic, half the lime zest, half the cilantro,
    1 TBSP olive oil, juice from half the orange, juice from remaining lime, salt, and pepper (2 TBSP olive oil and juice from whole orange for 4 servings).

Cook Patties
6
  • In a second medium bowl, gently combine pork*, panko, remaining Fajita Spice Blend, salt (we used 1 tsp; 2 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. Form into four equal patties (eight patties for 4), about ½ inch thick and 3 inches wide.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side (if needed, cook in batches for 4).

  • Transfer to a plate. 

Finish & Serve
7
  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in remaining lime zestremaining cilantro, and 1 TBSP butter
    (2 TBSP for 4 servings).

  • Divide rice and beans between shallow bowls. Top with patties and pickled onion (draining first). Drizzle with mojo sauce. Serve with any remaining mojo sauce on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many loved the citrusy mojo sauce and pickled onions, but some found the pork patties bland. Consider adding extra seasoning to the meat 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: While most found it straightforward, a few noted it was time-intensive with many steps. Try prepping ingredients in advance for a smoother cooking experience.
  • Suggestions: For extra flavor, cook onions before adding spices to beans. Some recommend topping with sour cream for a creamy contrast.
  • Leftovers: The mojo sauce and pickled onions make great leftovers, perfect for pairing with other dishes like smoked salmon.
  • Texture: Some found the beans too soupy; consider reducing the water by half when cooking for a thicker consistency.
