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

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add ground beef to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Drain any excess liquid. Pan will be hot! Use caution.

    Add garlic salt and light chili powder (to taste). Stir occasionally until combined, 30-60 seconds.

    Transfer beef to a plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat; no need to wipe clean.

  2. 2

    Cook the Peppers

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, diced peppers, fiesta seasoning, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce and Beef

    Add tomato sauce, chicken base, hot sauce (to taste), and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir in beef until combined, 20-30 seconds.

    Remove from burner.

    While sauce cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Heat Noodles and Finish Dish

    Place noodles and 1 Tbsp. water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.
