Ingredients
  

For the Steak

  • 1 pound Flank Steak Substitute with skirt or sirloin steak for similar flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Use avocado oil as a substitute if desired.
  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic Can replace with garlic powder in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin Coriander can be substituted for a milder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder Swap for paprika for less heat.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

For the Base

  • 1 cup Rice Use jasmine or basmati rice for fragrant option.
  • 2 cups Water Vegetable or chicken broth can enhance flavor.

For the Filling

  • 1 can Black Beans Can substitute with pinto beans for variation.
  • 1 cup Corn Fresh or frozen kernels work well.
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes Substitute with cherry tomatoes for a sweet twist.
  • 1 small Red Onion Green onions can be used for a milder flavor.
  • 1 bunch Cilantro Omit for a less pungent profile.

  • 1 medium Avocado Replace with guacamole for intensified flavor.
  • 1 cup Cheese Cheddar or Monterey Jack; vegan cheese can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream/Salsa Greek yogurt can substitute for sour cream to reduce calories.

Instructions
 

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture on the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Boil water in a medium saucepan, add rice, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • In a large bowl, mix warm rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss everything together gently.
  • Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and layer the slices atop the rice mixture in serving bowls.
  • Top your bowls with creamy avocado, a sprinkle of cheese, and a dollop of sour cream or salsa.

Notes

Consider adding a handful of tortilla chips on the side for extra crunch.
