Description

Queso Steak Fajita Skillet is a delicious and easy one-pan meal featuring tender steak, bell peppers, onions, and cheesy goodness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of top sirloin, sliced into thin pieces
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 bell peppers, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cups Minute Rice
  • 1 packet of fajita seasoning
  • Velveeta cheese dip or any melty cheese dip, to taste

Instructions

  1. Drop the onion and bell pepper slices into a heated skillet with olive oil on medium-high. After a few minutes, when they start softening a bit, toss in the steak strips and shake over the fajita seasoning. Cook, stirring around, until the steak looks how you want it.
  2. Dump in the Minute Rice, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Give everything a really good stir. Keep on medium and let it simmer. Follow how your rice package says to cook, and if you’ve got different rice, just make sure to watch the liquid and add a splash if it looks dry.
  3. Once the rice is nice and fluffy and the pan isn’t too watery, spoon over lots of warm cheese dip. Let it melt all through your skillet.
  4. Scoop onto plates while it’s hot. Dig in right away for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, consider adding jalapeños or a spicy cheese dip.
  • Customize the dish with your favorite vegetables.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge.
