To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  1. 1

    Broil the Corn and Zucchini

    Place corn and zucchini on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    Spread into a single layer and top zucchini with panko and a pinch of chili powder. (The rest is yours to do with as you please!)

    Place under hot broiler and broil until lightly browned, 8-12 minutes.

    Keep an eye on oven as vegetables may burn easily under broiler.

    While zucchini broils, cook pork.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Medallions

    Pat pork medallions dry.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pork medallions to hot pan and cook until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Rest at least 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Stem and coarsely chop cilantro. If desired, leaves can be left whole.

    Combine sour cream, chipotle pesto, 1 tsp. lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
