    From the Test Kitchen

    Our Mexican spice blend stars two ways in this burrito bowl-style dish: it’s cooked into our hearty base of rice and kale, then used to spice our saucy, smoky pork and black beans served on top. Crisp carrots tossed with a tangy-sweet dressing of honey, vinegar, and pickled jalapeños add bursts of spicy flavor in every bite.

    step-by-step

    Make the kale rice
    1 Make the kale rice

    Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then roughly chop the leaves. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, half the spice blend, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, place the chopped kale on top of the rice. 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. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

    Prepare the remaining ingredients
    2 Prepare the remaining ingredients

    Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Drain and rinse the beans. 

    Cook the turkey & beans
    3 Cook the turkey & beans

    In a large, high-sided pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the turkey, sliced onion, and remaining spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Add the guajillo chile sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), drained beans, and 1/4 cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until coated and the turkey is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

    Prepare & dress the carrots
    4 Prepare & dress the carrots

    Meanwhile, peel the carrots; grate on the large side of a box grater. Roughly chop the pepper. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the grated carrots and as much of the chopped pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
