Cooking Steps

Cook bulgur
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • In a medium pot, combine stock powder and 2/3 cup (1 cup) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. 
  • Once boiling, stir in bulgur, then return to a boil. Cover and remove pot from heat.
  • Let stand for 16-18 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • To a medium bowl, add tomatoes, then squeeze a lemon wedge over top. Toss to coat.
Make Baja sauce
3
  • To a small bowl, add mayo, sour cream, half the chipotle sauce, half the lemon juice and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) Southwest Spice Blend.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Cook tilapia
4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While the pan heats, pat dry tilapia with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • To another medium bowl, transfer tilapia. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Southwest Spice Blend, then toss to coat. 
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tilapia. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tilapia is opaque and cooked through.** 
  • Remove pan from heat. Add remaining chipotle sauce, then stir to coat tilapia.
Make bulgur salad
5
  • Add lemon zest to the pot with bulgur. Fluff with a fork to combine.

If you've opted to get tilapia, pat dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season in the same way recipes instructs you to season shrimp. Increase pan-frying time to 3-4 min, until tilapia is opaque and cooked through.** Continue with the rest of the recipe as written.
