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) |

  1. 1

    Prepare The Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

    Cut shrimp in half

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice

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

  2. 2

    Cook The Vegetables

    In a large nonstick pan over medium high heat, add 1 tsp olive oil. Add peppers, corn, and green onion bottoms to pan and cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Cook The Shrimp

    Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook undisturbed until seared on one side, 2-3 minutes. Flip, and cook until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer shrimp to a paper towel lined plate.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Cook The Quesadillas

    Place 3 tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide half the cheese between tortillas, then top with filling and remaining cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.

    Return pan used to cook filling to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil to hot pan. Working in batches, place quesadillas in pan (there should be no overlap). Cook until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side.

    Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding 1 tsp. olive oil for each batch.

  5. 5

    Make The Pico and Finish The Dish

    Combine tomatoes, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and green onion tops in a small bowl.
