Ingredients
  

1 pound flank steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Optional: Greek yogurt or sour cream for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced steak, making sure it's well-coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

    Cook the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway, until it reaches your desired doneness (medium rare is approximately 135°F). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they're tender and slightly charred.

        Assemble the Fajita Bowl: In a bowl, start by placing a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Top with black beans, sautéed vegetables, and sliced steak.

          Garnish and Serve: Add sliced avocado on top, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the bowl. For extra creaminess, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.

            Enjoy: Mix everything together as you eat to enjoy all the flavors in each bite!
