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

  • Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using Beyond sausage, crumble into bite-sized pieces. Stir often, breaking up "sausage" until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Vegetarian sausage will not brown. If using shrimp, pat dry before seasoning and cook undisturbed until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes. If using diced chicken, pat dry before seasoning and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Add to peppers as desired.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, seasoning blend, enchilada sauce, and 1 cup water to a boil.

    Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 14-17 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomatoes and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Coarsely chop cilantro (no need to stem).

    Halve and juice lime.

    Drain black beans in a wire-mesh strainer and rinse.

    Stem poblano peppers, halve lengthwise, and seed. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  3. 3

    Roast the Peppers

    Place poblano peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut side down. Spray with cooking spray and season with a pinch of salt.

    Roast in hot oven until peppers are tender, but not completely cooked, 10-12 minutes.

    Don't worry if peppers char a bit; this adds flavor to the dish.

  4. 4

    Fill the Peppers

    In a mixing bowl, combine rice, 2/3 the cheese (reserve remaining for topping), beans, 1 tsp. lime juice (reserve remaining for pico de gallo), and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Carefully, flip peppers cut-side up and fill halves evenly with rice-beans mixture. Top with remaining cheese.

    Roast in hot oven until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes.

    While peppers roast, make pico de gallo.

  5. 5

    Make Pico de Gallo and Finish Dish

    In another mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, 1 Tbsp. remaining lime juice, 1 tsp. olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with pico de gallo and sour cream. Bon appétit!
