Many a great dinner starts with this thought: tasty stuff on top of rice. Does it need to be more complicated than that? Not at all with this rice bowl, bringing the tasty from the steak strips cooked in a piquant tomato sauce, a feisty chimichurri, and the classic combo of crunchy tortilla, rich cheese, and a dollop of cooling sour cream. “Tasty stuff on top of rice,” may not be the musings of an epicurean gourmand, but it sounds like the perfect dinner to us.
