Preparation
1
Start Prep & Cook Rice

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, 1 ¼ cups water (2 ¼ cups for 4), 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.

2
Finish Prep

• While rice cooks, halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ¼-inch pieces. Roughly chop olives. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.

3
Bake Tortilla Chips

• Gently prick each tortilla in a few places with a fork, then cut into six triangles for a total of 36 pieces (72 pieces for 4 servings). • Toss tortillas on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in an even layer. (It’s OK if there is some overlap!) Bake on top rack until lightly golden brown, 8-10 minutes. (For 4, divide between two baking sheets; bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

4
Start Picadillo

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are slightly tender, 4-6 minutes. • Add beef*, Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes more. TIP: For extra heat, add some chili flakes from your pantry if you have some on hand.

5
Finish Picadillo

• Add tomato paste to pan with beef and veggies; cook, stirring, until slightly darkened in color, 1-2 minutes. • Add olives, raisins, stock concentrate, and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings). Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in half the cilantro and juice from half the lime. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

6
Serve

• Divide rice, beef picadillo, and tortilla chips between shallow bowls. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. ***Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.***
