Instructions

Sauté Vegetables and Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced yellow onion and sliced bell peppers, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the sirloin strips to the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the steak and vegetables, mixing well to evenly coat.
Add Rice and Tomato Sauce: Stir in 2 cups of Minute Rice and 2 cups of chicken broth to the skillet. Pour in 8 ounces of tomato sauce and mix everything until combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Simmer and Cook Rice: Cover the skillet and let it simmer according to the Minute Rice package instructions, usually around 5 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Finish with Cheese Dip: Once the rice is cooked through, drizzle Gordo’s Cheese Dip over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, seasoned fajita skillet meal.

Notes

You can substitute Minute Rice with regular rice, but be sure to adjust the broth amount and cooking time according to the rice package instructions.
Adjust the amount of fajita seasoning based on your spice preference.
Gordo’s Cheese Dip adds rich creaminess, but you can substitute with any cheese sauce or shredded cheese if preferred.
For a vegetarian version, replace sirloin with firm tofu or plant-based meat alternatives and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
