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

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Drain beans.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, half the ranch seasoning (reserve remaining for filling), and 1 Tbsp. water. Set aside.

    In another mixing bowl, combine beans and salsa (to taste). Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add bacon and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally until bacon crisps, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in ground turkey, garlic salt, and remaining ranch seasoning. Break up meat until no pink remains and turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 7-9 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer filling to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly spread cheese on one half of each tortilla, then evenly top with filling. Fold tortilla over filling and press gently to adhere.

    Return pan used to cook filling to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Place quesadillas in hot pan. Work in batches, if necessary. Cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding 1 tsp. olive oil for each batch.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Broil Quesadillas and Finish Dish

    Transfer quesadillas to prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Broil under hot broiler until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes.

    Don't text and broil! Keep an eye on oven as quesadillas may burn easily under broiler.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, cutting quesadillas into smaller slices, if desired, topping with crema, and garnishing with green portions of green onions. Serve bean salsa on the side for dipping. Bon appétit!
