Step 1
Cook enough rice to have 2 cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will yield about 2-3 cups of cooked rice depending on what kind you use.
Step 2
Wash and cut your potatoes, green onions, lime, and jalapeño.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into a large dice, the green onions into slices separating the whites from the greens. Cut the lime into wedges and jalapeño into thin slices.
Step 4
I used the air fryer to cook the potatoes for speed purposes. You can use your oven if needed. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F or your oven to 425°F. Add the potatoes to the air fryer basket and cook for 8-12 minutes or until they have properly browned.
Step 5
If you use the oven, you'll need to toss the potatoes in a bit of oil and spread on a sheet pan. Roast for 8-10 minutes, then flip and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add a bit of oil and begin to brown the ground beef.
Step 7
Once the beef is about 90% of the way cooked, make room in the center of the skillet and add in the whites of the green onions and the shredded cabbage. Season lightly with salt.
Step 8
After the cabbage has cooked down a bit, add in the canned petite diced tomatoes. Stir to incorporate. Once the potatoes have finished cooking you can add them to the pan as well.
Step 9
Add two cups of rice as well as the garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Stir everything together to incorporate and adjust seasonings to taste.
Step 10
This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide your ingredients evenly into your 5 containers and top with cotija cheese, jalapeño slices, and a lime wedge.
