- Prepare the measured ingredients before heating the pan or assembling the dish. Follow the written order so ingredients are ready when they are needed.
- When scaling the recipe, increase ingredients together but keep the same doneness checks. A larger batch does not necessarily cook in the same time.
Serving suggestions
Divide the filling evenly among the specified wraps, tortillas, or lettuce leaves. Keep extra sauce and toppings separate so each serving is easy to portion.
Storage and make-ahead
Refrigerate perishable portions in shallow, covered containers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and use cooked leftovers within 3–4 days. If reheating cooked leftovers, heat them to 165°F throughout.

Common questions
Should I weigh ingredients before or after cooking?
Use the stage written next to each ingredient. Raw, cooked, drained, and dry weights are different; keep that distinction when measuring a portion or using the nutrition estimate.
How should I use the calories and macros?
The card lists estimates for its stated serving size. Use the listed ingredients and portions as the basis; changing brands, substitutions, toppings, or sides can change the values.
