Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 large lime, juiced and zested
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 poblano pepper, sliced
- olive oil
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained and patted dry on paper towels (reserve the juice)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon beef stock concentrate (optional)
Here's how to make it:
Cook the rice according to package directions. When it's finished cooking, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon of the lime zest. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 1 teaspoon lime zest and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Put the onion and poblano onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cook in a preheated 450-degree F oven until they begin to char, about 15 to 18 minutes.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet. Add the pineapple chunks and cook until they begin to char, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and beef stock concentrate, if using. Cook until meat is browned and cooked through. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice and the caramelized pineapple. Season with salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes more to heat through.
To serve, put rice on the bottom of a bowl. Top with the meat mixture, the roasted onions and poblanos, and then the lime cream.
