• In a small pot, combine stock concentrate, half the Southwest Spice Blend, 1⁄4 tsp turmeric (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings), and 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4). (Be sure to measure the turmeric—we sent more!) • Bring to a boil, then stir in rice and a pinch of salt. 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. • Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Zest and quarter lime.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes.

• Meanwhile, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid; season with remaining Southwest Spice Blend. • Once green pepper is slightly softened, add chicken and a large drizzle of oil to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and green pepper is caramelized, 4-6 minutes. • Add Tex-Mex paste and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Turn off heat. **Swap in beef* or turkey* for chicken.**

• While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine tomato, scallions, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper.

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls and top with chicken mixture, salsa, and lime sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. ***Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.***
