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

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. 

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

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Drain and rinse beans in a wire-mesh strainer.

    Mince cilantro (no need to stem).

    Cut plantains into 1/2” dice.

    Halve limes lengthwise. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Stem poblano peppers, seed, and cut into 1/4" 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.

  2. 2

    Quick-Pickle the Shallots

    In a mixing bowl, combine shallots, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside, at least 5 minutes.

    While shallots quick-pickle, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add plantains and poblanos (to taste) to hot pan and stir occasionally until lightly charred, 4-6 minutes.

    Add beans, half the cilantro (reserve remaining for garnish), and fajita seasoning. Stir occasionally until beans are warmed through, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

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

    If tortillas come folded, keep folded.

    Alternatively, place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, to hot, dry pan. Heat undisturbed, 30-45 seconds per side. Remove from pan.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with filling and garnishing with remaining cilantro, quick-pickled shallots (to taste), sour cream, and crispy jalapeños (to taste). Squeeze lime wedges over to taste. Bon appétit!
