1
Drain the canned pineapple chunks, saving the juice for later.
2
Zest the lime and then cut it into quarters.
3
In a small pot, mix the rice with 3/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and let it simmer until rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes.
4
While the rice is cooking, heat a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the pineapple chunks and cook until lightly charred, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the pineapple from pan and set aside.
5
In the same pan, add remaining cooking oil, pepper slices and half of the Fajita Spice Blend. Cook until the peppers are softened and charred, around 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
6
Next, cook the ground pork in the same pan, breaking it up into small chunks. When the meat is fully cooked and browned, mix in the chili powder, the remaining Fajita Spice Blend, and the reserved pineapple juice. Let it simmer until the juice is reduced.
7
Take the pan off the heat, then squeeze in some lime juice, and give it a good stir.
8
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and hot sauce until well combined.
9
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork, and mix in lime zest, butter, and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro.
10
Arrange your bowls, starting with a bed of cilantro lime rice. Add a generous helping of the seasoned ground pork, followed by your caramelized pineapple, sauteed peppers, and Pico de Gallo.
11
Sprinkle some Monterey Jack over the top, followed by a drizzle of your spicy sour cream mixture. Serve with a wedge of lime on the side.
