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, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. 

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add ground beef to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Drain any excess liquid from pan, if desired. Pan will be hot! Use caution.

    Stir in taco seasoning (to taste) and enchilada sauce (to taste) until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While beef cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beans

    Drain and rinse beans in a colander/strainer.

  3. 3

    Mash the Beans

    Place a medium pot over medium heat.

    Add beans, pesto (to taste), 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water to hot pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until beans are softened, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Mash until slightly chunky. Beans will be hot! Use caution.

    While beans cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Heat Rice and Finish Dish

    Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps and remove from packaging.

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine rice, piri piri seasoning (to taste), and 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Microwave uncovered until heated through, 3-4 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Rest, 2 minutes.

    Fluff rice with a fork.
