Instructions

  1. Prepare the corn salsa by mixing corn, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Marinate the flank steak by combining olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, garlic, soy sauce (or Tamari), and cilantro in a resealable bag; add the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Sear the marinated steak in a hot skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to medium-rare (130-135°F). Let it rest before slicing against the grain.
  4. Cook the veggies by adding chicken broth to the skillet; sauté garlic until fragrant then add onions and bell peppers along with fajita seasoning until tender.
  5. Assemble bowls starting with cilantro lime rice as the base; layer with sautéed veggies, sliced steak, corn salsa, guacamole or avocado chunks, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, lime wedges, and cilantro.
