Ingredients
Scale
Rice and Broth
- 2 cups Minute Rice
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 pound Top Sirloin, cut into strips
- 1 package Fajita Seasoning
Vegetables
- 3 Bell Peppers, sliced
- ½ Yellow Onion, diced
Other Ingredients
- 8 ounces Tomato Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Gordo’s Cheese Dip, as much as you like
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables and Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the diced onions and sliced bell peppers, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Then add the steak strips and cook them to your preferred level of doneness. Season with the fajita seasoning packet, stirring well to coat the meat and vegetables.
- Add Rice, Broth, and Tomato Sauce: After the steak is cooked through, add the minute rice and chicken broth to the skillet. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir everything together until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook according to the minute rice package instructions, usually about 5 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
- Finish with Cheese Dip and Serve: Once the rice is fully cooked and the skillet mixture is heated through, drizzle your desired amount of Gordo’s cheese dip on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful queso steak fajita skillet.
Notes
- For variation, substitute minute rice with other quick-cooking rice varieties but adjust broth quantities accordingly.
- You can use different cheese dips if Gordo’s is unavailable, but a creamy, melty cheese dip works best.
- Customize the fajita seasoning or make your own blend for a personalized flavor profile.
- If you prefer, cook the steak separately to avoid overcooking the vegetables.
- This dish pairs well with a side of fresh guacamole or sour cream for added richness.
