Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Zest, then juice half the lime.
- Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Halve tomatoes.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then onions, rice and half the Mexican Seasoning.
- Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
