Step 1

Before starting, add 1 1/4 cups water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Once water is boiling, add rice, stock powder and 1 tbsp butter. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Step 2

Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Finely chop green onion.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 4

Add 1/2 tbsp oil, then beef and pork mix. Cook, breaking up meat into smaller pieces, until no pink remains (4-5 min, 165 °F internal temp). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium. Add Mexican Seasoning, garlic, ketchup and 2 tbsp water to the pan with beef and pork. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
