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 ground turkey, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 2 tsp. olive oil until patties reach minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side. 

  1. 1

    Roast the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/4" fries and pat dry.

    Place fries on one prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, potato spice seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread into an even layer.

    Roast in hot oven until browned and tender, 45-50 minutes, tossing once halfway through.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While fries roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Form and Assemble the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, add ground beef, garlic pepper, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of salt. Stir until thoroughly combined.

    Form beef mixture into 8 equally-sized, oval-shaped patties, about 3" in length and 2" wide.

    Place patties about 2" apart on second prepared baking sheet. Using the flat side of an object, press down gently to smash each patty until 1/4" thick, about 5" in length, and 3" wide.

  3. 3

    Roast the Patties

    Roast in hot oven until patties reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-12 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven and drain any excess liquid. Sheet will be hot! Use caution/a utensil.

    While patties roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Hold romaine heart at root end and thinly slice.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Drain pickles and pat dry. Coarsely chop.

  5. 5

    Add Tortillas and Cheese and Finish Dish

    Evenly top patties with cheese, then tortillas, pressing gently to adhere (some overlap is OK).

    Roast again in hot oven until cheese is melted and tortillas are heated through, 3-4 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling patty-filled tortillas with romaine, tomatoes, and pickles. Top with dressing. Bon appétit!
