Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup queso cheese sauce
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado diced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced flank steak with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked rice and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Stir in the queso cheese sauce until everything is well combined and heated through.
  4. To serve, divide the rice mixture among bowls. Top with the cooked steak, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
