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 |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Hold romaine heart at root end and chop coarsely.

    Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Cut tortillas in half and then into 1/2" strips.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Pat chicken dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    Place onion in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until softened, 4-5 minutes.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add onions and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until onions are caramelized, 6-8 minutes.

    Remove from burner and transfer onions to a mixing bowl to cool. Set aside.

    While onions cook, cook chicken.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and cook undisturbed until lightly charred, 3-5 minutes.

    Then stir occasionally until browned all over and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in BBQ sauce.

    Transfer chicken to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tortillas

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Working in batches, add tortilla strips to hot pan and fry until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Remove fried tortillas to towel-lined plate.

  5. 5

    Toss Salad and Finish Dish

    Add romaine, spinach, cheese, garlic salt, caramelized onions, and tomatoes to another mixing bowl and toss with dressing until combined.
