Tender grilled chicken seasoned with smoky chili and cumin, layered over fluffy cilantro-lime rice with crisp green peppers, black beans, sweet corn, and a fresh lime squeeze.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water(2 1⁄4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
  2. While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Drain corn; pat dry with paper towels. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Cover pan if corn begins to pop! • Turn off heat; transfer corn to a small bowl. Stir in salsa; set aside until ready to serve.
  4. Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for corn over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, onion, chicken, Southwest Spice Blend, garlic powder, 1⁄2 tsp cumin (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Save remaining cumin for another use.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are just beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Lower heat if chicken and veggies begin to brown too quickly. • Add 1⁄4 cup water and 1 TBSP butter(1⁄2 cup water and 2 TBSP butter for 4). Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Place sour cream in a second small bowl. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fluff rice with a fork. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with chicken and veggies. Top with Monterey Jack and corn salsa. Drizzle crema over everything and serve.
    1. Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

  1. In a small pot, melt 1 TBSP butter over medium heat. Stir in 1⁄4 tsp turmeric (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings); cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Stir in rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 cups for 4), stock concentrate, a big pinch of salt, and pepper.

  2. Meanwhile, bring 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Quarter lemon. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Toast pitas until softened and warmed through. • Spread with softened butter, then cut each pita into quarters.
  6. Once rice is done, fluff with a fork; stir in half the scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Divide rice between bowls. Top with chicken and tomato in separate sections; season tomato with a pinch of salt. Drizzle everything with as much white sauce and CholulaR hot sauce as you like; garnish with remaining scallion greens. Serve with pita and remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Elevate Tex-Mex night with crispy baked tortillas loaded with warmly spiced ground beef, sautéed green bell peppers and onions, melted Mexican cheese, fresh tomato salsa bursting with cilantro and lime, and a kick of spicy hot sauce crema.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro. Halve and peel onion; thinly slice one half. Finely chop remaining onion until you have 2 TBSP. Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cilantro, chopped onion, juice from half the lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream with as much hot sauce as you like. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.
  3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef*, Southwest Spice Blend, chili powder, and a few big pinches of salt. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 4-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step).
  4. Once beef is browned, add bell pepper, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt to pan. Cook, stirring, until veggies are tender and beef is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. • Add stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (½ cup water for 4 servings). Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt; remove pan from heat and set aside.
  5. Drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to coat all over. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer (divide between 2 sheets for 4). Gently prick each tortilla in a few places with a fork. • Bake on top rack, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes per side. (For 4, bake on top and middle racks; flip tortillas and swap rack positions halfway through baking.) TIP: Watch carefully—tortillas brown fast!

Chicken Sausage Supreme Pizzas

686380dd6c81f96af0603980-fb57b038.webp

Dive into pizza night with golden, crispy crusts topped with zesty marinara, crumbled chicken sausage, colorful bell peppers, red onions, and a melty blend of mozzarella and parmesan. Finished with a sprinkle of Italian herbs for bold, savory flavor.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Sprinkle 3 TBSP flour over a clean work surface. Remove dough from packaging and place on prepared surface. Shape each piece of dough into a ball. (TIP: Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray or dust with flour to prevent sticking.) Evenly sprinkle 2 TBSP flour over dough balls. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. While dough rests, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Trim and slice mushrooms into 1⁄2-inch-thick pieces (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium- high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes. • Add sausage; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through and veggies are softened, 4-6 minutes.
  3. Once dough has rested 20 minutes, line a baking sheet (two baking sheets for 4 servings) with parchment paper. Carefully press and stretch each dough ball into a rough oval shape and place on one side of prepared sheet (you’ll have two dough ovals per baking sheet). TIP: If needed, use a rolling pin to help roll out dough. • Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rest 15 minutes (this will make stretching into a larger shape even easier!).
  4. Using floured hands, press and stretch dough on baking sheet into larger oval shapes, about 10 inches long and 5-6 inches wide. • Spread each piece of dough with as much marinara as you like; sprinkle with mozzarella. Top with as much sausage and veggie mixture as you like. Drizzle or brush edges of dough with olive oil.
  5. Bake pizzas on top rack until crusts are golden brown and crisp, 14-18 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
  6. Drizzle pizzas with as much pesto and balsamic glaze as you like. Slice as desired. Serve.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil (or coat with nonstick cooking spray).
  2. Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP.
  3. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion; cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Add pork; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through and onion is softened, 4-6 minutes.
