Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsps. (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • ⅛ tsp. each salt, sugar
  • 2 (14.5 oz.) cans low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can vegetable broth
  • 8 oz. angel hair or thin spaghetti
  • 1 (10 oz.) can Ro*Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 (4.5 oz.) can chopped green chilies
  • 2 tsps. lime juice
  • ¼ tsp. Mexican oregano
  • 2 Tbps. sour cream
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • 6 green onions, green parts cut in 1 inch pieces, white part diced
  • 4 oz. Cotija cheese, feta or any other crumbly cheese
Steak Rub
  • ½ tsp. each cumin, salt
  • ¼ tsp. chili powder
  • ⅛ tsp. each black pepper, garlic powder
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle steak rub all over both sides of the steak and rub in.
  2. Heat oil in a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the steak and cook 5 minutes each side.
  3. While the steak is cooking, slice the bell pepper and onion.
  4. when the steak is done, transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  5. If there's any burned steak bits in the pan, add a little water to deglaze it. Then add a little oil if needed to saute the peppers and onions.
  6. Add the bell pepper slices and cook 3 minutes.
  7. Add the onions and garlic and saute 2 minutes. Sprinkle in ⅛ tsp. each salt and sugar and continue sauteing another 3 minutes or so. I like to keep the onions and peppers a little on the firmer side. Then transfer peppers and onions to a plate.
  8. Add the broth and bring to boil.
  9. While you're waiting for the broth to boil (it happens fast!) slice the steak in thin strips across the grain, and then cut into thirds.
  10. Break pasta in half and add to the boiling broth and give it a stir. Cook 2 minutes.
  11. Stir in Ro*Tel, green chilies, lime juice, oregano, and steak and heat through.
  12. Turn off heat and wait a minute. Then stir in sour cream.
  13. Top with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
