Ingredients
1 lb sirloin or beef tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked rice (white or Spanish-style)

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Fresh lime wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
Season steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in cooked rice and heat through.
Lower heat and stir in queso until creamy and fully combined.
Add steak back to the pan, toss everything together, and warm for 1–2 minutes.
Top with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if using. Serve hot.
