Ingredients

Scale

1 lb flank or sirloin steak
2 cups cooked white rice
1 cup queso cheese (Velveeta and cheddar blend)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup bell peppers, chopped (any color)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Season the steak with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Let it rest before slicing it against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions and bell peppers until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Lower the heat and stir in the queso cheese along with cooked rice until everything is well combined and heated through.
Gently fold in the sliced steak before serving hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
