  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onions.

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the pan, then turkey. Break up turkey into smaller pieces.

  • Add Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring until fragrant.
  • Transfer turkey and peppers to a bowl.
  • Add chipotle sauce. Season with salt and pepper, if you like, then combine.
Make pico de gallo
3
  • Meanwhile, to another medium bowl, add tomatoes, remaining peppers, half the green onions, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. (TIP: Add a pinch of sugar to the pico de gallo, if you like.)
Make creamy guacamole dressing
4
  • To a small bowl, add guacamole, sour cream, lime zest and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. (TIP: If you prefer a lighter dressing, add more water, 1 tsp at a time.)
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir until smooth.
Dress spinach
5
  • To a large bowl, add remaining lime juice and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
  • Add spring mix, then toss to coat.
Finish and serve

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The Mexican-inspired flavours come together well, with a tangy pico de gallo and a creamy guacamole dressing that reviewers enjoyed. Some found the overall seasoning a touch mild and suggested adding garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder to boost the spice level.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, though some reviewers noted the recipe uses several bowls, so consolidating prep steps where possible can help reduce cleanup.
  • Suggestions: Consider swapping spring mix for romaine or iceberg lettuce for better crunch and structure; some reviewers also added tortilla chips or tostadas to round out the texture. If your lime is small, plan to use the whole fruit, as several reviewers found one lime barely enough for the full recipe.
  • Leftovers: Portion sizes were generally well-received, with some reviewers noting generous amounts of greens; others felt the protein portion could be increased for a more filling meal.
