This is simple, quick and family friendly dish for Mexican steak and rice that is ridiculously easy to make.
If you love the flavours of fajitas then this Mexican rice recipe is going to be a welcome addition to your cookbook. In the recipe below, we've used strips of quick frying steak but you could easily make this recipe using chicken or turkey steaks instead.
You'll notice there is white rice in the dish, but don't worry, you needn't be worried by the seemingly "high GI" of white rice. The GI value is more or less redundant when the food is eaten with other foods especially when the other foods provide a source of fibre, protein and fat.
If you're a fan of Mexican food then you'll want to cook our recipe for One-Pan Chicken Enchilada Rice. Seriously, it's delicious.

To start, bring rice (dry weight) to the boil cook according to the directions on the packet.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or work over a medium heat and add the chopped peppers and onions and fry until brown.
Remove the veg from the pan and add the steak and fry for a couple of minutes or until it is cooked.
Just like you would do with fajitas, add the vegetables back to the pan and mix through with the steak.
Add the spice mix and mix through and cook for a further minute.
Once the rice has cooked, drain it then add it to pan with the meat and vegetables along with the tomato puree and cook, stirring constantly for about a minute. Serve.
