How to Make Cheese Steak Fajita Skillet

Ingredients:

• One pound of top sirloin, sliced into thin pieces
• Half a yellow onion, chopped
• Three bell peppers, cut into strips
• Two tablespoons olive oil
• Two cups chicken broth
• Eight ounces tomato sauce
• Two cups Minute Rice
• A packet of fajita seasoning
• Velveeta cheese dip or any melty cheese dip you like, use as much as you want

Directions:

1. Drop the onion and bell pepper slices into a heated skillet with olive oil on medium-high.
2. After a few minutes, when they start softening a bit, toss in the steak strips and shake over the fajita seasoning. Cook, stirring around, until the steak looks how you want it.
3. Dump in the Minute Rice, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Give everything a really good stir.
4. Keep on medium and let it simmer. Follow how your rice package says to cook, and if you’ve got different rice, just make sure to watch the liquid and add a splash if it looks dry.
5. Once the rice is nice and fluffy and the pan isn’t too watery, spoon over lots of warm cheese dip. Let it melt all through your skillet.
6. Scoop onto plates while it’s hot. Dig in right away for the best flavor and texture.

How to Serve Cheese Steak Fajita Skillet

Serve your Cheese Steak Fajita Skillet hot right out of the pan. You might want to add some toppings like sour cream, salsa, or extra cheese on top. It’s great on its own, but you can also serve it with tortillas or over a bed of lettuce for a tasty twist.

How to Store Cheese Steak Fajita Skillet

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, you can use the microwave or warm it up in a skillet on the stove. Just add a splash of water to keep it from drying out.
