Ingredients
  

1 pound flank steak, sliced against the grain

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice for a different base)

1 cup black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)

1 avocado, diced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons lime juice

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt or sour cream, shredded cheese, hot sauce

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the flank steak slices in the marinade and let sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated flank steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a large serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa (or brown rice) at the bottom. Top with the sautéed vegetables, sliced steak, black beans, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.

          Dress It Up: Drizzle lime juice over the assembled bowl, and if desired, add toppings like Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, or hot sauce for an extra kick.

            Serve and Enjoy: Mix everything together before eating, or serve it deconstructed for a fun customizable dinner.
