A delightful dish combining flank steak, creamy queso cheese, and vibrant, fresh veggies, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup queso cheese sauce
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned to your desired doneness. Set aside.
  2. In a separate pot, gently warm the queso cheese sauce on low heat until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked white rice, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix well.
  4. Divide the rice mixture among serving bowls, topping each with cooked steak, warm queso cheese sauce, and diced avocado.
  5. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For optimal flavor, marinate flank steak in spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Consider using pre-cooked rice for quicker preparation.
