Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, cut mango into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
Add rice to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, add mango, tomatoes, onions and half the lime juice to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Add sour cream, half the lime zest, remaining lime juice and 1/4 tsp garlic puree (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef and poblanos. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.
Add teriyaki sauce and remaining garlic puree to the pan with beef. Cook, stirring often, until beef is coated, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Fluff rice with a fork, then season with salt and stir in remaining lime zest. Divide rice between plates. Top with teriyaki beef and mango salsa. Dollop with lime crema. Tear cilantro over top. Squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
