Pollo Bandido • Cheesy Chicken + Rice

Ingredients pictured above:

•1 bag of Tyson Fajita Chicken Strips

•1 packet of Fajita Seasoning

•1 pouch of Spanish Rice

•1 container of “Gordo’s Cheese Dip” (I use the mild)

•Cilanto for garnish

•Tortillas (optional)

STEP 1)

Open your chicken, add to skillet & fry until fully cooked.

STEP 2)

Add your fajita seasoning. You’ll have to follow instructions according to seasoning packet. My packet called for 1/4 cup of water & 1 tablespoon of oil.

STEP 3)

Cook your minute rice in the microwave for 90 seconds.

STEP 4)

Cook your Gordos Cheese dip for 1 min, take out & stir. Put back in microwave for another 60 seconds.

Step 5) Grab your plate, add rice and chicken to your plate, add your cheese dip, top with Cilantro. If you would like to put your ingredients in a tortilla… that is optional as well.

SO YUMMY + SO EASY!

... Read morePollo Bandido, a favorite Mexican-inspired dish, combines the delicious flavors of chicken and cheesy goodness. To enhance your dish, consider adding fresh vegetables such as bell peppers or onions while cooking the chicken. This not only adds flavor but also increases the nutritional value of your meal. For those looking to make it spicier, a dash of jalapeños or your preferred hot sauce can elevate the dish. Additionally, using homemade seasoned rice can add a personal touch to your recipe and better control the seasoning levels to your liking. Pairing your Pollo Bandido with a fresh salad or guacamole makes for a balanced meal that is both satisfying and nutritious. Serve the dish with warm tortillas to create delicious wraps that are perfect for any occasion. This recipe not only suits busy weeknights but also works great for potlucks or family gatherings, ensuring everyone leaves the table happy and full!
