Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank Steak (slice thinly against the grain before marinating)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (base for the marinade)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice (helps tenderize the meat)
- 1 tablespoon Chili Powder (adds depth and warmth)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin (essential for authentic flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (for garlic flavor without mincing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 cups Cooked Rice (use white or brown rice)
- 1 can Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Corn Kernels (for sweetness and texture)
- 1 medium Ripe Avocado (adds healthy fats)
- 1 cup Salsa (choose your favorite kind)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (for herbaceous freshness)
- 4 Lime Wedges (serve for extra zing)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (for a creamy contrast)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (for savory flavor)
- 1/4 cup Sliced Jalapeños (for added heat)
Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced steak and let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated steak. Sear until it’s cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes for medium. Remove from heat and let it rest.
- Assemble the bowls: In a large bowl or meal prep containers, divide the cooked rice, black beans, corn kernels, and cooked steak evenly.
- Top it off: Add sliced avocado, salsa, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sour cream, shredded cheese, and jalapeños on top of each bowl.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for meal prep!
Notes
Let the meat rest after cooking to retain juices. Customize toppings to your taste.
