Cooking Steps
- Bring 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and half the Mexican seasoning to a boil in a covered medium pot.
- Add rice to the pot of boiling broth. Reduce heat to low.
- Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch strips.
- Peel, halve, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
- Finely chop 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) of the onions, then place in a medium bowl. (TIP: If you don't like raw onions in your salsa, leave in slices and roast all the onions in step 3.)
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch thick half-moons.
- Add peppers, zucchini, sliced onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 18-20 min.
- Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Mexican seasoning.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork.
- Pan-fry, until golden, 2-3 min per side.
- When pork is golden, transfer to another unlined baking sheet.
- Roast, in the top of the oven, until cooked through, 10-13 min.**
- When pork is done, transfer to a clean cutting board. Cover loosely with foil to rest, 3-5 min.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop cilantro.
- Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add tomatoes, half the cilantro, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the bowl with onions. Toss to combine.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in remaining cilantro.
- Thinly slice pork.
- Divide rice between bowls.
- Top with veggies, pork and any pork resting juices.
- Top with salsa, then sprinkle cheddar cheese over top.
If you've opted for double pork, prepare and cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the regular portion of pork. Work in batches, if necessary.
