Cooking Steps
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.
While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.
Zest and quarter lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and lime zest. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*, onion, green pepper, and Mexican Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until veggies are browned and turkey is cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Add Tex-Mex paste, ¼ cup water, and juice from two lime wedges (½ cup water and juice from four wedges for 4 servings); stir to combine. TIP: If turkey mixture seems too thick, add another splash of water.
Fluff rice with a fork.
Divide rice between shallow bowls. Top with turkey and fajita veggies. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and drizzle with lime crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very good but 1/2 c rice is plenty! Used only 1/2 the Mexican spice and it was spicy enough. Great flavor!
It was really good, though I had to add a sprinkle of chili flakes from a previous meal to bring out the full flavor.
This was flavorful and easy to make. I think next time I will add diced tomatoes and it will be even better.
Easy way to get my family to eat healthy. So quick and tasty.
This was delicious and not something I would typically make for myself. I will order it again!
Super good flavor! Really enjoyed this and super easy to make.
It's a light clean meal with just the right amount of spice.
Like other recipes, the pepper and onion would have been better if not cooked as long as recipe suggests...they were overcooked for me...Will try again and try a shorter cooking time for veggies. Very flavorful though!
It was nice. Made a little extra rice with it. The Mexican Spice blend had a bit too much cumin in it for me. If I get this again I will not use what the recipe calls for.
Wayyyyy too much onion - I know delivery items may vary, so you may want to add a suggestion that if you get a particularly large onion to only use half for 2 servings. It totally overpowered everything even when I dumped a few handfuls out.
