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.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Crema

    Zest and halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 1 tsp. lime zest, 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add poblanos (to taste) to hot pan and stir occasionally, 3 minutes.

    Add corn and a pinch of salt and stir occasionally until poblanos are tender, 5-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While vegetables cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Pat shrimp dry. In another mixing bowl, combine shrimp and cornmeal and toss until coated. Set aside.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook until crispy and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to towel-lined plate and season with taco seasoning.

  4. 4

    Warm Tortillas and Finish Dish

    Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds.

    If tortillas come folded, keep folded.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with shrimp, vegetables (to taste), crema, crispy jalapeños (to taste), and cheese. Squeeze lime wedges over to taste. Bon appétit!
