Ingredients
1.5 lbs flank or skirt steak
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lime, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
3 cups cooked white rice
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp butter or oil
1 cup black beans
1 cup corn
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup shredded lettuce
0.25 cup red onion, diced
0.5 cup Mexican-style shredded cheese
0.25 cup sour cream
Instructions
Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the steak to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or large skillet over high heat and cook steak to desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
In a bowl, mix cooked rice with cilantro, remaining lime juice, and butter or oil.
Assemble bowls by layering rice, steak, black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, onion, and cheese.
Top with a dollop of sour cream and serve immediately.
Notes
Always slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness. Customize by adding extra vegetables like bell peppers or swapping sour cream for Greek yogurt for a healthier boost.
