Ingredients
  

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl Base:

  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice or cauliflower rice for low-carb option
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1/2 cup salsa homemade or store-bought

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

  • Optional Ingredients:
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes for spice
  • 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping
  • Tortilla chips for crunch

Instructions
 

  • **Marinate the Steak:** In a bowl, mix garlic powder, cumin, paprika, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat the steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • **Cook the Steak:** Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • **Prepare the Base:** While the steak is cooking, warm the black beans and corn in separate pots or the microwave.
  • **Assemble the Bowl:** Start with a layer of rice as the base. Add black beans, corn, and sliced steak on top.
  • **Add Toppings:** Sprinkle cheese, add avocado slices, and spoon over salsa.
  • **Serve & Enjoy:** Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of tortilla chips or sour cream.

Notes

For a low-carb version, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
To make it spicier, add jalapeños or extra red pepper flakes.
This is great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble fresh when ready to eat.
