Thinly slice jalapeño into rounds, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Zest and quarter lime. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
2
Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium heat; add scallion whites, remaining garlic, and 1 tsp Fajita Spice Blend (2 tsp for 4). Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.Add rice, stock concentrate, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my meal delivery spending through three summers. The pattern’s embarrassing: June hits, I promise myself I’ll meal prep and eat clean, then by July I’m ordering Chipotle at 9 PM because it’s 95 degrees and I can’t face turning on the stove. August? Full...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I went vegan for 90 days while working 60-hour weeks. Not because I’m some wellness influencer with a meal prep Sunday ritual. because I wanted to see if it was actually possible without turning into the person who brings sad lettuce to every work lunch. The...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I fed a family of six for three months using nothing but meal delivery services. My Costco membership gathered dust. My freezer became a staging area for Blue Apron boxes instead of bulk chicken thighs. The math shocked me. A family of six ordering Chipotle twice...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent last summer testing every meal delivery service that promised to keep me eating clean while Nashville hit 95 degrees by 10 AM. The goal: figure out which services actually deliver fresh food that doesn’t wilt in transit, and which ones are just marketing “summer...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve cooked through a lot of meal kits trying to impress dates. Some worked. Some. did not. The difference between a fun couples’ cooking night and a kitchen disaster comes down to three things: timing (nobody wants to be chopping onions at 9 PM), difficulty (if...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months ordering from every meal delivery service that claims to be “senior-friendly.” Some of them actually are. Most just slapped a stock photo of a smiling grandparent on their homepage and called it a day. Here’s what actually matters if you’re over 65...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent three months feeding my nephew dinner from meal delivery services. He’s eight, picky as hell, and thinks vegetables are a personal attack. By week two, I had strong opinions. Here’s what I learned: most meal kits aren’t actually designed for kids. They’re designed for...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve spent more money on date night meal delivery than I care to admit. Not because I’m some kind of romantic. because I got tired of the same three restaurants and the “what do you want to eat” standoff that kills the vibe before you even...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my mom’s Uber Eats spending for a month. $387. That number made me physically uncomfortable. She’s not ordering fancy stuff. just dinner because she’s exhausted after work and the idea of chopping vegetables sounds like a personal attack. The delivery apps know this. They...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent $420 on a week of Sakara meals. That’s not a typo. $420 for five days of plant-based food delivered to my door in Brooklyn. The box showed up looking like it belonged in a Goop photo shoot, packed in compostable materials with little cards...
