instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & make the peanut crema
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime. Halve the lime crosswise. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the brussels sprouts; quarter lengthwise. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Halve and pit the avocado. Using a spoon, remove the avocado from the skin, slice the avocado then place in a bowl. Top with the juice of 1 lime half; season with salt and pepper. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, combine the peanut butter spread, lime zest, the juice of the remaining lime half, as much of the garlic paste as you'd like, 2 tablespoons of warm water, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater.

Cook the rice
In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Add the cilantro sauce; stir to combine.

Roast the vegetables & pepitas
Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with foil. Place the quartered brussels sprouts and onion wedges on the sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Roast 12 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Carefully add the pepitas in an even layer. Roast 2 to 4 minutes, or until the pepitas are lightly browned and the vegetablesa re tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Make the cheesy tortillas
Once the vegetables have roasted about 10 minutes, place the tortillas on a separate sheet pan. Evenly top with the grated cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven. Let stand at least 2 minutes.
