How to specify ASP.NET Core target framework imports in .csproj file (instead of project.json)?

Question

I'm building an ASP.NET Core app, and am trying to install the Azure Storage package.

From the Azure Storage github page, it says I need to place the following in my project.json file - but since this is using the latest ASP.NET Core version, we don't have a project.json file, just a .csproj file.

"imports": [
    "dnxcore50",
    "portable-net451+win8"
  ]

Is there a way to do this in .csproj file? I assume the place might be somewhere around this:

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
    <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext>
  </PropertyGroup>

Thanks very much!

After migrating one of my projects to the new model, this is what it generated:

<PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.6</TargetFramework>
    <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext>
    <AssemblyName>TestApp</AssemblyName>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <PackageTargetFallback Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'netcoreapp1.6' ">$(PackageTargetFallback);dotnet5.6;portable-net45+win8</PackageTargetFallback>
</PropertyGroup>

Try adding dnxcore50 and portable-net451+win8 in a similar fashion, something like this:

<PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
    <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext>
    <PackageTargetFallback Condition=" '$(TargetFramework)' == 'netcoreapp1.1' ">$(PackageTargetFallback);dnxcore50;portable-net451+win8</PackageTargetFallback>
</PropertyGroup>
