  • 2 unit juice of 2 limes
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Bowls

  • 4 cups cooked rice or riced cauliflower

  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, heated
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 unit red onion, diced

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak

  • Place flank steak in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.
  • In a small bowl, add oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine, then pour over the steak. Make sure both sides of the steak are coated.
  • Cover or seal and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Grill the Steak

  • Heat the grill to medium-high, then place the steak on it. Grill for 10 minutes, then flip the steak and grill for another 10 minutes or until it reaches your desired internal temperature.
  • Place the steak on a plate or cutting board, then allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Slice the steak into thin strips against the grain or into cubes.

Assemble the Bowls

  • In individual bowls, add rice (or riced cauliflower), sliced steak, avocado, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, and diced onion.
  • Drizzle with lime crema made by combining sour cream, Tajin seasoning, and lime juice.

Notes

Serve each bowl while the ingredients are fresh and vibrant. Let everyone add their ingredients to customize their bowl. Ideal served with a refreshing drink and tortilla chips on the side.
