Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then half the corn (use all for 4 ppl).
- Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden-brown, 5-6 min.
- Remove from heat, then transfer corn to a plate to cool.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Add beef, Mexican Seasoning and panko to a medium bowl. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt, then combine.
- Divide mixture into 8 equal portions (16 portions for 4 ppl).
- Roll into balls, then flatten into 1/2-inch-thick patties. (NOTE: Your mixture may be sticky. Lightly wet your hands to make it easier to form patties.)
- Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil, then patties.
- Cook until golden all over and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
- Remove from heat. Transfer patties to a plate.
- Carefully rinse and wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add pepitas to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on pepitas so they don't burn.)
- Transfer toasted pepitas to a plate.
- Add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Add spinach, tomatoes and corn to the bowl. Toss to combine.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with patties.
- Drizzle with ranch dressing.
- Sprinkle pepitas and feta over top.
