Ingredients
10 oz
Cooked Pulled Pork
½ cup
Long Grain White Rice
4 oz
Grape Tomatoes
¼ cup
Sour Cream
⅓ cup
Guajillo Chile Pepper Sauce
1 oz
Tomato & Chipotle Flavored Butter

Note: Measurements are for 2 serving recipes.

Instructions

step 1
Cook the rice
Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water (or 2 cups for 4 servings). 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.

step 2
Prepare the ingredients & toast the pepitas
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the tomatoes. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pepitas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 3 minutes, or until toasted (be careful, as the pepitas may pop as they toast). Transfer to a bowl and immediately season with as much of the spice blend as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be; toss to combine. Wipe out the pan.

step 3
Cook the pork & tomatoes
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pulled pork, halved tomatoes, guajillo sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and 2 tablespoons of water (or 4 tablespoons for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined, the tomatoes are slightly softened, and the pork is heated through. Turn off the heat.

step 4
Finish the rice & serve your dish
Add the softened butter to the pot of cooked rice; season with salt and pepper. Stir until combined and the butter is melted. Serve the finished rice topped with the cooked pork and tomatoes. Garnish with the sour cream and seasoned pepitas. Enjoy!
