Cooking Steps
- Stir together wild rice medley, 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20-22 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice green onion.
- Add 2 tsp (4 tsp) vinegar and 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil to a medium bowl. (TIP: Add 1/4 tsp [1/2 tsp] sugar, if desired.)
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until combined.
- Add cabbage, then toss to combine.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, pat corn dry with paper towels.
- When hot, add corn to the dry pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown in spots, 5 min.
- Add half the Mexican Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 15 sec.
- Transfer corn to the medium bowl with slaw, then toss to combine.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Return the same pan to medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Add Tex-Mex paste, remaining Mexican Seasoning and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water.
- Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and no longer watery, 30 sec-1 min.
- Season with pepper.
- Add sour cream, remaining vinegar and 1 tsp (2 tsp) water to a small bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Add half the green onions to the pot with wild rice medley, then fluff with a fork.
- Divide wild rice medley between bowls. Top with slaw and beef.
- Sprinkle feta and remaining green onions over top.
- Dollop crema over bowls.
If you've opted to get beef, reduce oil to 1 tsp (2 tsp), then add beef to the pan. Cook beef in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the turkey.** (Remove and discard excess fat, if desired.)
