Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Start Filling

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Drain and rinse beans.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bell peppers to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Finish the Filling

    Add ground beef to hot pan with bell peppers. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Carefully drain excess grease from pan. Add tomato puree, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp. salt, taco seasoning, and beans. Stir occasionally until combined and water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Flautas

    Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide filling equally among tortillas, placing in center, then top with cheese.

    Tuck one tortilla end under filling and roll tightly, placing seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Broil Flautas and Finish Dish

    Transfer flautas to prepared baking sheet. Evenly top with 2 tsp. olive oil and carefully massage until coated. Top with ranch seasoning.

    Broil under hot broiler until browned and crispy, 1-3 minutes.

    Don't text and broil! Keep an eye on oven as tortillas may burn easily under broiler.

    Carefully remove from broiler. Rest, 2 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping flautas with sour cream and serving salsa (to taste) on the side for dipping. Bon appétit!
