Ingredients

1 pound lean ground pork
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green bell pepper (medium, peeled and diced)
1 red bell pepper (medium, peeled and diced)
1 teaspoon cumin
0.5 teaspoon paprika
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 cup white rice (cooked)
0.5 cup mild salsa (no chunky vegetables or seeds)
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt (for serving)

Instructions

If not already cooked, prepare white rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound lean ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat. Add 1 medium green bell pepper (peeled and diced) and 1 medium red bell pepper (peeled and diced) to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bell peppers are very soft.
Stir in 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring to coat the pork and vegetables with the seasonings.
To serve, divide 2 cups cooked white rice among bowls. Top with the sizzling pork and bell pepper mixture. Add about 1 tablespoon mild salsa to each bowl and a dollop of 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt if desired.
