Cooking Steps

START PREP
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.

ROAST POTATOES
2
  • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

FINISH PREP & MAKE SALAD
3
  • Meanwhile, core and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Drain and rinse beans. Quarter lime.

  • In a large bowl, toss together bell pepper, tomato, scallions, beans, 1 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp Fajita Spice Blend (you'll use more later), 1 tsp salt, juice from three lime wedges, and pepper until well combined (for 4 servings, use 2 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp Fajita Spice Blend, 2 tsp salt, and juice from six lime wedges). Refrigerate until ready to serve.

START PORK
4
  • Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with 2 tsp Fajita Spice Blend (4 tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure the Fajita Spice Blend—we sent more!)

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat.

  • Swap in chicken* for pork. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, then cook through the rest of this step as instructed. 

FINISH PORK
5
  • Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP butter for 4 servings) to pan with pork; baste pork with melted butter until thoroughly coated.

  • Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest at least 3 minutes. TIP: You can start plating the potatoes and salad while the pork rests.

FINISH & SERVE
6
  • Slice pork crosswise.

  • Divide pork, potato wedges, and salad between plates in separate sections. Drizzle any remaining butter from pan over pork. Serve.

  • Slice chicken crosswise.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the flavorful meal, especially the zesty bean salad. Some found the chicken a bit dry and lacking fajita punch.
  • Ease of prep: The cold bean salad was a hit for most, offering a refreshing contrast to the hot components.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding salsa or a sauce to moisten the chicken. Serve with tortilla chips for extra crunch.
  • Portions: A few felt rice would round out the meal, making it more substantial and satisfying.
