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 |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |

-
1 Prepare the Ingredients
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. When ingredient appears in recipe, remove from packaging. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.
Combine diced peppers, corn, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper in provided tray. Push to one side.[after party changes: cream cheese removed] -
2 Bake the Meal
Pat chicken thighs dry. Combine chicken thighs, cornstarch, and taco seasoning in a mixing bowl until completely combined. Place in empty side of tray. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
Bake uncovered in hot oven until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 23-25 minutes.If using diced chicken breasts, follow same instructions. If using shrimp, follow same instructions and bake uncovered until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 16-20 minutes.[after party changes: no more cream cheese, cornstarch added] -
3 Finish the Dish
While chicken bakes, combine slaw mix and chipotle ranch dressing (to taste) in a mixing bowl.
Carefully remove tray from oven. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds.Stir chicken and vegetables with half the cheese (reserve remaining for topping) until combined. Fill tortillas with chicken and vegetables and top with slaw, remaining cheese, and crispy red peppers. Bon appétit![after party changes: no more cream cheese, cornstarch added, half cheese mixed in]
