1
Cook rice: Add water and salt to a pot, bring to boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed (12-14 min). Remove from heat, set aside.
2
Prep vegetables: Core and cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onions. Zest and juice half a lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
3
Cook ground beef: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, then beef. Cook, breaking up, until no pink remains (4-5 min). Drain fat. Add Mexican seasoning, garlic salt, and water. Cook until fragrant (1 min). Transfer beef to a bowl and cover.
4
Cook peppers and onions: Reheat pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, then peppers, onions, and remaining garlic salt. Cook until tender-crisp (3-4 min).
5
Assemble fajita rice: Fluff rice, then fold in half the green onions and season with salt. Add oil to the pan with veggies. Add rice and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice starts to brown (1-2 min).
6
Finish and serve: Divide fajita rice mixture between bowls. Top with beef, tomatoes, and remaining green onions. Sprinkle with cheese. Dollop with lime crema. Squeeze lime wedge over top, if desired.
