Preparation
1
Prep
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and mince or grate garlic; reserve a pinch in a small bowl (you’ll use it in Step 5). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Thinly slice jalapeño into rounds, removing ribs and seeds for less heat; mince a few rounds until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.

2
Cook Bulgur
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add scallion whites, remaining garlic, and ½ tsp Fajita Spice Blend (1 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add bulgur, stock concentrates, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water is absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

3
Pickle Jalapeño
  • In a second small microwave-safe bowl, combine sliced jalapeño, juice from half the lime, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt.

  • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.

4
Cook Pork
  • Pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season all over with remaining Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • Transfer to a cutting board to rest.

  • Swap in chicken* for pork. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.

5
Make Crema
  • To bowl with reserved garlic, add mayonnaise, sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice (two squeezes for 4 servings), a big pinch of lime zest, and a pinch of minced jalapeño to taste. TIP: If you like some zesty heat, add a small splash of jalapeño pickling liquid in place of, or in addition to, lime juice.

  • Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish & Serve
  • Fluff bulgur with a fork. Stir in tomato, half the scallion greens, remaining lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, and as much remaining minced jalapeño as you like. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Thinly slice pork crosswise.

  • Divide bulgur between shallow bowls; top with pork. Drizzle everything with crema; garnish with remaining scallion greens and as much pickled jalapeño (draining first) as you like. Serve.

  • Thinly slice chicken crosswise.
