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.
