Whether you're celebrating Taco Tuesday or just craving something delicious, this recipe is packed with flavor thanks to Dr. C’s Chipotle Fiesta Dust.

It’s a simple yet impressive dish that’s easy to customize—cook the steak in whole pieces or cut it into strips, load up on extra veggies, or even swap in chicken if that’s your thing. However you make it, you’re in for an unforgettable taco night.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 20 oz steak, cut into pieces (or leave whole and slice after cooking)
