review_highlights:
  - theme: Flavor
    text: Many found it bland and lacking the promised smoky chipotle flavor; adding extra seasoning, taco seasoning, or hot sauce helped boost taste.
  - theme: Ease of prep
    text: Quick and easy to make, perfect for busy weeknights, though some felt there were too many prep steps.

In a #small pot{}, combine @jasmine rice{1.5%cup}, 1 1/4 cups water (2 1/4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of @salt{}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, ~{15-18%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Dice @tomato{2} into 1/4-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and dice @onion{2} into 1/4-inch pieces. Finely chop @cilantro{1/2%oz}, including tender stems. Zest and quarter @lime{2}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine tomato, half the onion, half the cilantro, a large drizzle of @olive oil{}, juice from half the lime, @salt{}, and @pepper{}.

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add remaining onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly softened, ~{2-3%minutes}. Stir in @ground beef{20%oz}, @chipotle puree{2%oz}, @garlic powder{2%tsp}, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, ~{4-6%minutes}. (If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.) Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While beef cooks, in a second #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{6%tbsp} and half the @cumin{1%tsp} (all for 4 servings); add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest. Divide rice between plates. Top with beef, @Mexican cheese blend{1%cup}, crema, pico de gallo, and remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
