Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Dice tomato. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (3 TBSP for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime (for 4, zest 1 lime and quarter both). Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips.

Cook Rice
2

In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ 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.

Make Salsa and Crema
3

While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, and juice from half the lime. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, half the Fajita Spice, and ¼ tsp Southwest Spice (½ tsp for 4 servings; be sure to measure). Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Veggies
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper; cook until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add sliced onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Add 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), half the remaining Southwest Spice (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. Cook until water has mostly evaporated and veggies are coated, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.

Cook Pork
5

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. (TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.) Stir in stock concentrate, remaining Fajita Spice, and remaining Southwest Spice until combined. Add ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings); simmer until mixture is reduced and saucy, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest and season with salt and pepper. Divide between bowls and top with pork mixture and veggies. Top with pepper jack, salsa, and crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
