Instructions

Preheat the skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the steak with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the pan.
Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, prepare the rice, corn, and other ingredients.
In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the bowl starting with a base of rice or cauliflower rice. Layer with shredded lettuce, steak, black beans, corn, and the tomato-onion mix.
Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and squeeze a lime wedge over the top.

Notes

Add extra crunch by sprinkling chopped walnuts or almonds over the top before baking.
If you have leftovers, store them in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat as needed.
Substitute the steak with grilled chicken or tofu for a different flavor.
