Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the onion and potatoes
- Peel and coarsely chop ½ onion for cooking; thinly slice the remaining half for the salad. [Peel and coarsely chop 1 onion; thinly slice the remaining onion.]
- Scrub the potatoes; cut the potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
2
Prep your protein
- Cut a small corner from your protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Cook the onion, potatoes, and your protein
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chopped onion and potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add your protein and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat, until the protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the smoky chili spice blend and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and potatoes are tender and your protein is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the onion, potatoes, and your protein are cooking, prepare the salad.
4
Prep the remaining ingredients; assemble the salad
- Cut the tomatoes in half; set aside for serving.
- Coarsely chop the cilantro.
In a small bowl, stir together the honey-lime vinaigrette base and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss together the kale and half the vinaigrette (set aside the remaining vinaigrette for serving). Add the carrots, cilantro, and sliced onion and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the salad to individual bowls and top with your protein mixture and the tomatoes. Spoon over the remaining vinaigrette and serve.
