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) |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Halve lime and juice.

    Mince half the cilantro (no need to stem). Stem remaining half, reserving leaves whole.

    Halve and peel onion. Finely chop. If you receive a larger onion, chop half; remaining half is yours to use as you please!

    Stem jalapeño, halve, seed, remove ribs, and mince. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add ground beef and onions (reserve 2 Tbsp. for crema) to hot pan. Break up until starting to brown, 3-5 minutes.

    Add fiesta seasoning, half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for crema), and 1/4 cup water. Stir occasionally until mixture thickens and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 1-3 minutes.

    If mixture is too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner. Stir in half the minced cilantro (reserve remaining for crema).

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

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

    Poke tortillas with a fork all over, 10 times for each tortilla. Place tortillas on baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tsp. olive oil and massage oil into tortillas.

    Fill tortillas evenly with beef filling and cheese, then fold in half, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Bake the Tacos

    Bake in hot oven until cheese has melted and tortillas reach desired crispness, 5-8 minutes per side.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While tacos bake, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Make Crema and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, 1 Tbsp. jalapeños (to taste), remaining minced cilantro, remaining garlic salt, reserved 2 Tbsp. onions (to taste), and 1 Tbsp. lime juice. Set aside.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, serving tacos with crema and whole cilantro leaves. Bon appétit!
