    Prepare the ingredients & make the base
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the base

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. Lightly coat the tray(s) with a drizzle of olive oil. In the prepared tray(s), combine the spinach, rice, tomatillo sauce, tomatoes, raisins, and half the spice blend (you will have extra). Stir to combine. Add 1 cup of water to the tray (or to each tray for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.

    2 Add the chorizo & bake the tray

    Add the chorizo (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding) in an even layer. Tightly cover the tray(s) with foil and bake 38 to 40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chorizo is cooked through. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.
