Chipotle Steak Rice Bowl
My family loves anything Mexican-inspired and these Chipotle Steak Rice Bowls have been one of our favorite go-to meals when we’re craving anything with Tex-Mex flavors. They come together easily in one pan with bell peppers, onions, and a juicy flank steak marinated with fresh lime and zesty seasonings. The fact that they are so easy will make them a week-night favorite and a weekend staple. Because these are build your own bowls, kids and adults alike can customize the burrito bowls to their liking, making it a win, win for everyone. Serve them up by dividing the steak and veggies into bowls over some white or brown rice (feel free to use cauliflower rice if you prefer). Pile on all your favorite toppings like avocado, cilantro — plus a squeeze of lime—and you’re ready for a healthy fiesta. You love that your loved ones are eating healthy and they will love all the fresh flavors. Steak provides protein and rice and beans are filling and full of fiber making it a hearty dish. The fresh toppings only add to the taste, zing and it’s a sneaky way for kids to eat some vegetables. You have to try this!

Steak: Flank or skirt steak are a favorite choice, you can also use top sirloin, round steak, and flat.

Keep the steak whole while marinating and then cut it before cooking.Cook: For the best flavor saute the vegetables and cook the steak in an cast iron skillet. You can also grill the steak. Peppers and Onions: Cut the peppers and onions into bite sized chunks and make sure they are the same size for even cooking. Butter: Searing the steak in butter gives the meat the best taste ever. It will help keep it nice and tender. The Base: You can either use brown or white rice for the base. Try quinoa, cauliflower rice, Mexican rice or cliantro lime rice will work. Beans: Black beans, pinto and kindney beans are a common topping. Refried beans also work. This black bean and corn salad is the perfect topping with extra zing.

We love drizzling the whole thing with this Cilantro Ranch Dressing.
