Ribeye steak Tampiqueña (Tex-Mex)

2020-08-15

The original Mexican dish with this name is something very different than this.
The Tex-Mex version is what the local NM restaurants serve as steak Tampiqueña, although they probably use chuck steak.

I used a ribeye steak, brown rice instead of white, a lot more vegetables and a milder green chile.
Other than that, it's very similar to what Si Señor serves here in Deming, NM.

I didn't serve chips & salsa for starters or sopapillas afterwards, missed that. The main dish alone took me long enough to prepare. That's why it was so nice to dine out once in a while. Unfortunately, 7 months into Covid dining out is still not safe.
