Instructions
- Peel sweet potato, then quarter lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch quarter-moons.
- Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Add sweet potatoes, peppers, Southwest Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp oil to one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Add cauliflower and 1/2 tbsp oil to the other side of the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, separating cauliflower to its own sheet and using 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
- Roast in the middle of the oven until veggies are tender and golden-brown, 20-24 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice jalapeño into 1/4-inch rounds, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
- Add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and a pinch of salt to a small microwavable bowl. (NOTE: This is your pickling liquid.)
- Microwave in 15 sec. increments, stirring between each, until salt dissolves.
- Add jalapeños, then stir to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork and onions.
- Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until onions are tender and no pink remains in pork, 4-5 min.**
- Add Tex-Mex paste and 1/3 cup (1/2 cup) water. Bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium.
- Cook until sauce reduces slightly, 2-4 min. Remove from heat, then cover to keep warm.
- Divide roasted veggies between bowls.
- Top with pork mixture.
- Dollop with sour cream, drizzle with chipotle sauce and sprinkle cheese over top.
- Top each bowl with pickled jalapeño slices. (TIP: Any leftover pickled jalapeños and pickling liquid can be saved and refrigerated for up to 3 days!)
If you've opted to get pork, cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the beef. No need to drain the fat.
