Preparation
1
Cook Rice

• In a small pot, combine stock concentrate, half the Southwest Spice, ¼ tsp turmeric (½ tsp for 4 servings), and ¾ cup water (1½ 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. **Skip this step! (Save jasmine rice for another use.)**

2
Prep

• 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 drizzle of oil in a medium pan (large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice, stock concentrate, half the Southwest Spice, and ¼ tsp turmeric (½ tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower begins to soften, 3-4 minutes. Stir in ¼ cup water; cook until softened, 3-4 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and keep covered until ready to serve.**

3
Cook Green Pepper

• 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.

4
Cook Chicken

• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with remaining Southwest Spice. • 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 ¼ 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.

5
Make Toppings

• 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.

6
Finish & Serve

• 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.
