This one-skillet dinner is a breeze to pull together, making it perfect for busy weeknights—plus it's easy to build and adjust to taste for picky eaters. Flour tortillas are cooked right in the skillet with everything else. Add them gradually to prevent them from sticking together. For a slightly different flavor and firmer texture, swap out the flour tortillas for corn tortillas.

Add corn, enchilada sauce and black beans to the pan; stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate browned bits. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add cheese; cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and sauce is creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently stir in tortilla strips and the steak. Serve over rice and sprinkle with cilantro.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
