Cooking Steps
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and half the garlic salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, thinly cucumber.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop spinach. (TIP: Place spinach in a bowl, then roughly chop using a pair of kitchen shears or scissors!)
- Combine chipotle sauce and 2 tsp (4 tsp) honey in a small bowl.
- Add vinegar, remaining honey, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and a pinch of salt to a medium microwavable bowl. (NOTE: This is your pickling liquid.)
- Microwave in 15-sec increments, stirring between each, until salt dissolves.
- Add cucumbers to pickling liquid. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- Place in the fridge to cool.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min.
- Remove from heat, then transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then beef. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water, Enchilada Spice Blend and spinach. Stir until spinach wilts, 1 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the green onions.
- Divide green onion rice between bowls.
- Top with beef, peppers, cucumbers and some pickling liquid.
- Drizzle chipotle-honey sauce over top.
- Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
If you've opted to get beef, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the turkey.
