step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Cook the rice

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups 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.

2 Prepare the ingredients

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Quarter the lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve and pit the avocado; using a spoon, remove the avocado from the skin, then medium dice. Place in a bowl; add the sliced radishes and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and tomatillo sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Roast the vegetables

Place the sliced onion and sliced peppers on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Remove from the oven and evenly top with the juice of the remaining lime wedges. Carefully stir to coat.

4 Cook the chicken

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Stir to coat. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

5 Warm the tortillas & serve your dish

Meanwhile, if you prefer to use a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel; microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through. If you prefer to use the oven, wrap the tortillas in foil and place directly onto an oven rack; warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a work surface and carefully unwrap. Serve the warmed tortillas with the cooked chicken, tomatillo sour cream, roasted vegetables, marinated avocado and radishes, and cotija. Serve the cooked rice on the side. Enjoy!
