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
  1. 1

    Add the Pork

    Turn oven on to 400 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before cooking, and after handling raw meat and seafood. Remove all produce from any packaging or constraints, then thoroughly rinse and pat dry.

    Break pork into small pieces. Evenly divide pork, peppers, and 2/3 the taco seasoning (reserve remaining for rice) between both provided trays. Spread into an even layer.

    Cover trays with foil.

  2. 2

    Start the Pork

    Bake covered in hot oven until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    While meal bakes, drain beans.

    Carefully remove trays from oven.

    Stir pork mixture, breaking up pork into smaller pieces. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil. Evenly divide tomato sauce and beans between both trays.

  3. 3

    Finish Pork and Heat Rice

    Bake again uncovered in hot oven until sauce is hot and simmering, 10-15 minutes.

    While meal bakes, carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps. Remove rice from packaging.

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine rice and remaining taco seasoning.

    Microwave uncovered until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    Carefully remove rice from microwave and trays from oven. Fluff rice with a fork and stir pork mixture until combined. Trays will be hot! Use a utensil.

    To serve, top rice with pork mixture and garnish with cheese, sour cream, salsa (to taste), and tortilla strips. Bon appétit!
