Preparation
1
Cook Rice

  • In a small pot, combine stock concentrate, half the Southwest Spice Blend, ¼ tsp turmeric (½ tsp for 4 servings), and 1¼ cups water (2¼ 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.

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.

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, 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 ¼ cup water (⅓ 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 and peppers, salsa, and lime sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
