Ingredient List

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced green or red bell peppers, cut in half crosswise
3/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
1 lb boneless beef sirloin steak (1 inch thick), trimmed of visible fat, cut into 1/2-inch bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix
6 cups thick tortilla chips
3 cups from 2 packages (7 oz) Old El Paso™ Shredded Mexican Style 4 Cheese Blend
1/2 cup from 1 bottle (9 oz) Old El Paso™ Creamy Queso Sauce
1/2 cup chopped plum (Roma) tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.
In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onions; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Remove from heat; pour into bowl. Cover and keep warm.
Carefully wipe out skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in oil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown on all sides. Add water and taco seasoning mix; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, spread half of chips evenly on lined pan. Top chips with 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers. Bake about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Using a slotted spoon, remove cooked beef from skillet, and sprinkle over top of cheese-topped chips; discard any remaining liquid left in skillet. Top with warmed pepper and onion mixture and remaining 1 cup cheese.
Return pan to oven; bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Drizzle with queso sauce. Sprinkle tomatoes and cilantro on top.
