Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings and Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup queso cheese sauce
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Season and Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak, season evenly with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Warm the Queso Sauce: In a separate pot or small saucepan, gently warm the queso cheese sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and heated through.
  3. Prepare the Rice Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white rice, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice mixture among serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked flank steak strips followed by a generous drizzle of warm queso cheese sauce.
  5. Add Fresh Toppings: Finish each bowl by adding diced avocado and sprinkling with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowl to add a fresh, tangy brightness.

Notes

  • Flank steak can be substituted with skirt steak or sirloin for similar results.
  • Use fresh or canned corn based on availability; if using frozen, thaw before mixing.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder and spices according to your desired heat level.
  • For a spicier queso sauce, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • This recipe can be prepared ahead by cooking the steak and rice mixture separately, then assembling the bowls when ready to serve.
