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) |

  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Stem poblano peppers, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping. (Time: 1:11)

    Pat tilapia dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch of pepper, and half the Chile and Cumin Rub (reserve remaining for a later step). Cut into 2-inch pieces

    Combine the sour cream and cholula sauce to taste

  2. 2

    Cook The Poblano Mixture

    In a nonstick pan over medium high heat add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add poblano peppers and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned,3-4 minutes. Add corn, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in cheese. Wipe the pan clean.

    While the vegetables cook, toast tortillas.

  3. 3

    Toast The Tortillas

    Poke tortillas with a fork all over, 10 times for each tortilla.

    Place tortillas on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil and massage oil into tortillas.

    Toast in hot oven until browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat And Test The Oil

    Add canola oil to the clean pan. While canola oil heats, add tempura, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir until a thin batter forms. Add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until the consistency is like a thin pancake batter.

    Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

  5. 5

    Fry The Tilapia

    Add tilapia to hot pan and cook until fish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle remaining Chile and Cumin Rub on top.

  6. 6
