Before You Cook

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 Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, 1 1/4 cups water, and 1/4 tsp. salt to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in chipotle crema until combined. Cover and set aside to keep warm.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Cook the Poblanos

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/4" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add poblanos (to taste) to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly browned, 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Ground Beef

    Add ground beef and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot 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. Pan will be hot! Use caution.

    Stir in 1/4 tsp. salt, chile and cumin rub, and salsa (to taste) until combined, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burritos

    Place tortillas on a clean, flat work surface. Evenly divide rice and beef mixture (to taste) between tortillas, placing in center. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    Evenly top with cheese and tortilla strips. You may have leftover rice. If so, serve on the side.

    Fold sides of tortilla toward center, then roll bottom edge towards the top, enclosing sides tightly.

  5. 5

    Toast Burritos and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook beef mixture to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add burritos, seam-side down, to hot pan. Toast until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Halve burrito, if desired. Bon appétit!
