Cooking Steps
- Add rice, stock powder, half the Enchilada Spice Blend and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 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 pieces.
- Zest, then juice half the lime (use whole lime for 4 ppl).
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. (TIP: Use a large oven-proof pan if you have one.)
- When hot, add beef to the dry pan.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Add peppers to the pan with beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers soften slightly, 2-3 min.
- Sprinkle remaining Enchilada Spice Blend over beef and peppers, then season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add salsa and chicken broth concentrate. Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
- Add cooked rice to the pan with beef and peppers. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.
- Transfer rice mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 ppl). (NOTE: Skip this step if you're using an oven-proof pan.)
- Sprinkle cheese over top.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese is golden, 2-3 min.
- Meanwhile, add sour cream, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of sugar to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.
- Divide beef and rice skillet between bowls.
- Dollop sour cream over top.
If you've opted for double beef, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the regular portion of beef. Work in batches, if necessary.
