Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and marinate your protein
- Steak strips and diced chicken: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Shrimp: Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine your protein, the sofrito, and apple cider vinegar; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
2
Prep and cook the cauliflower “rice”
- Cut the cauliflower in half lengthwise, discarding any leaves or thick stalks. Using a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, or the coarse holes of a box grater, coarsely grate the cauliflower. Alternatively, using a knife, cut the florets and tender stems into ¼-inch pieces.
- Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems, keeping them separate. Finely chop the stems and coarsely chop the leaves; set aside the leaves for garnish.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the cauliflower “rice” and cilantro stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower starts to soften, 3 to 5 minutes [4 to 6 min]. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover partially to keep warm. While the cauliflower “rice” is cooking, start preparing the remaining vegetables.
3
Prep the remaining vegetables
- Peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; thinly slice the pepper.
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
4
Start cooking your protein
In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and any marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for shrimp; 2 to 4 minutes for steak or plant-based chicken; and 3 to 5 minutes for chicken. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
5
Cook the onion and bell pepper; finish your protein
In the same pan used for your protein, if dry, add 2 to 3 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, bell pepper, and sazón seasoning, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add your protein and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and pepper have softened and your protein is cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the cauliflower “rice” to individual plates and top with your protein, the onion, and bell pepper. Garnish with the cilantro leaves and serve.
