Ingredients
Scale
Let’s dive into the heart of this recipe. Here’s what you need to bring this dish to life:
- 1 pound of flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine or basmati works best)
- 1 cup queso dip
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
If you’re out of flank steak, don’t worry. Sirloin or skirt steak makes a great substitute. For the queso, store-bought is fine, but if you have a little extra time, try making your own for a personal touch.
Instructions
With ingredients ready, it’s time to get cooking. Follow these simple steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the steak to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the cooked rice. Stir in the queso dip until the rice is well-coated and creamy.
- Return the steak to the skillet, mixing it gently with the rice and queso.
- Top with diced tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Remember, cooking is about adapting to your tastes. Feel free to sprinkle in a little extra queso or add a dash of hot sauce if you’re feeling adventurous.
