1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 cups chicken or beef broth

Instructions

Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and let rest.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add rinsed rice, garlic, chili powder, and cumin; toast for about 1 minute.
Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked.
Stir in queso blanco until melted and well combined; adjust seasoning as needed.
