Before You Cook

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 beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in cilantro (prepared while rice cooks) and set aside.

    While rice cooks, mince cilantro, no need to stem; and continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    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.

  3. 3

    Cook the Filling

    Drain pineapples.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add ground pork, poblanos (use less if spice-averse), 1/2 tsp. salt, and fiesta seasoning to hot pan. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip the poblanos.

    Stir often, breaking up pork, until poblanos are tender, no pink remains on pork, and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 6-8 minutes.

    Add tomato puree, pineapples, and 1/4 cup water. Stir occasionally until sauce coats pork, 4-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in 2 tsp. lime juice and 1 tsp. lime zest.

    While filling cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Heat Tortillas and Finish Dish

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

    If tortillas come folded, keep folded.

    Carefully remove from microwave.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with filling and topping with cheese. Squeeze lime wedges over to taste. Bon appétit!
