For Steak, everything is identical except sub Chopped steak for Chicken, and Red Enchilada sauce for Green.

Cheese sauce mix. In skillet pan, melt two TBLN butter over moderate heat. Place 1 PKG cream cheese over butter and add 1 cup milk. Melt completely. Careful not to burn. Add 1 mall can diced green chiles and 2 cups shredded cheese. (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack will all work, each gives different spin) Melt cheese into smooth mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste, and 2 tsp chilli powger.

Easy rice recipe- This is my do not tell anyone you made minute rice recipe. If you choose to use real rice the same rules apply. Instead of water, follow directions using chicken stock. Add 2 TBLS chicken base with tomato. It comes in a large 4 LB bucket at SAMS club (Cheap) I use it for everything. The mix is a non-refridgerate powder. Go get you some! Add  little corn/peas.carrots if you like. I like.
