Preparation

  • Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chipotle peppers, mashed garlic, cumin, oregano, and ground black pepper. Rub the marinade onto the steak and let it refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

  • Cook Rice: Prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions, or cook cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Cook the Steak: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil, and sear the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  • Rest Steak: Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Sauté Fajitas: In the same skillet, sauté the sliced peppers and onions for 3-5 minutes until soft.
  • Assemble Bowls: Layer rice, romaine lettuce, corn, black beans, sautéed veggies, and sliced steak in each bowl and drizzle with guacamole.
