• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook until softened, 1 minute. • Stir in rice and 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings). 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.

• While rice cooks, finely dice tomato. Core, deseed, and dice poblano into ½-inch pieces. Drain and rinse beans. • In a small bowl, combine tomato, half the scallion greens, and a large drizzle of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.

• In a second small bowl, combine sour cream with ½ tsp Southwest Spice (1 tsp for 4 servings). (You’ll use the remaining Southwest Spice later.) Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add poblano and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Reduce heat to medium.

• Stir beans, remaining Southwest Spice, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) into pan with poblano. Cook, stirring, until mixture is fragrant and butter has melted, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in green salsa and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4). Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are softened, 1-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. • Divide rice between bowls and top with bean mixture, pepper jack, salsa fresca, and crema. Garnish with remaining scallion greens and serve.
