Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. 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.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. (TIP: Use a large oven-proof pan if you have one.)When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and protein shreds. Cook, stirring occasionally until crispy, 6-7 min.
Add peppers to the pan with protein shreds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers soften slightly, 2-3 min. Sprinkle remaining Enchilada Spice Blend over protein shreds and peppers, then season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Add salsa. Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
Add rice to the pan with protein shreds 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 the pan. Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese is golden, 2-3 min.
Divide protein shreds and rice skillet between bowls. Dollop sour cream over top.
