Ingredients

Dry Rub:

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

Bowl Ingredients:

  • ½ pound flank steak

  • 1 cup cooked white rice

  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

  • 1 cup tortilla chips

  • ½ cup canned black beans

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Avocado Cilantro Dressing:

  • 2 avocados, peeled and pitted

  • 1 cup water

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just barely smoking.

  2. Combine garlic powder, chili powder, kosher salt, paprika, and cumin in a bowl; rub over all sides of flank steak.

  3. Grill flank steak in the preheated grill pan, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes. Let steak rest on a work surface for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain.

  4. Divide rice, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, tortilla chips, black beans, jalapeno peppers, and lime wedges between 2 serving bowls; top with steak, cotija cheese, and 1 tablespoon cilantro.

  5. Combine avocados, water, 1/2 cup cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a blender; blend until dressing is smooth. Pour dressing over each bowl.
