Cooking Steps

Cook wild rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. 
  • In a medium pot, stir together broth concentrate, wild rice medley, 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 18-20 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Char corn
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While the pan heats, pat corn dry with paper towels.
  • When hot, add corn to the dry pan.
  • Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until dark brown in spots.
  • Transfer charred corn to a plate.
Prep and make pico de gallo
3
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut hot pepper into 1/2-inch pieces, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers.)
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces, then finely chop 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp).
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • To a medium bowl, add finely chopped onions, tomatoes, lime juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lime zest and half the cilantro. Toss to combine.
Cook chorizo and veggies
4
  • Return the same pan (from step 2) to medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl until melted.
  • Add chorizo and remaining onions. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** 
  • Add hot peppers, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
Finish chorizo
5
  • To the pan with chorizo and veggies, add Tex-Mex paste and Southwest Spice Blend.
  • Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add 1/2 cup (2/3 cup) water.
  • Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
Finish and serve
6
  • To the pot with wild rice, add charred corn, remaining cilantro and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then fluff with a fork until butter melts.
  • Divide charred corn wild rice between plates.
  • Top with chorizo mixture, then pico de gallo.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
