Quest Spicy Queso Tortilla Protein Chips make that case deliciously – bringing unbeatable crunch, bold flavor, and generous amounts of protein to a recipe that’s clearly doing more than the name suggests. Call it what you want. Just maybe not that.

Ingredients

SPICY QUESO STEAK BOWLS

¾ lbs strip or ribeye steak

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp olive oil

½ cup white mushrooms, sliced

¼ cup canned corn, drained

1 cup cooked cauliflower rice

2 tbsp chopped cilantro

¼ cup pickled onion

8 cherry tomatoes

2 bags Quest Spicy Queso Tortilla Chips

3 tbsp queso sauce (this recipe utilized Primal Kitchen)

Method

Add the steak to a bowl and season with fresh salt, pepper and lime juice.

Cover and let sit for 30 minutes. When the steak has marinated for 30 minutes, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and make sure it’s very hot.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then add the steak to the pan. Sear for 4 minutes, flip and cook the other side for a 2-3 minutes.

Let rest for at least 5 minutes. In the same pan, add another 1 tbsp of oil and saute the mushrooms and canned corn, season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Assemble the bowls by adding ½ cup of cauliflower rice to two serving bowls.

Arrange one bag of chips per bowl, top with steak, mushrooms, corn, pickled onion, cilantro, cherry tomatoes and warmed queso sauce.
