Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup queso blanco dip or cheese sauce
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup corn, fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning onto both sides of the steak. Sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
  2. Assemble the Bowl: Warm the queso until pourable. Layer rice, black beans, corn, and red onion in a dish. Drizzle with queso, top with sliced steak. Garnish with cilantro, jalapeño, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Use leftover steak or rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Add sautéed peppers or avocado for extra flavor.
  • Great for meal prep—store components separately.
