WONDERFUL!! I used to order this at a TexMex restaurant several years ago that has since gone out of business. Thanks for bringing back an old favorite into my life! I served with spanish rice and beans. This will melt in your mouth!

Loved it! I used sirloin steak medalions for the meat, (which if you serve on the rarer side is very tender) A simple delicious recipe.

This is super! I actually doubled the recipe and used pepper jack cheese slices. And baked it for 45 minutes. It was very greasy, but yummy yummy! THanks for a great recipe!

This was really good and was done in minutes! The only change I made to the recipe was using a can of drained tomatoes, because I didn't have fresh on hand. I served this with my Mexican Baked Potatoes and beans. Will definitely make this again!

This was delicious! We will be having this many times to come. I did not have canned chilies so I used a fresh poblano and sautéed it with the onion and tomatoes (I am allergic to garlic), and I seared the steaks in the cast iron skillet for a minute on each side instead of broiling them. Also, I snipped fresh cilantro over the top before serving with fresh warmed tortillas, refried beans and spanish rice. I think I’ll continue to use the poblano out of personal preference but this recipe is perfect as is and needs no changes to be delicious. Thank you, Dawn, for our delicious meal!
