Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 whole lime
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 can black beans
• 1 cup corn
• 0.5 whole red onion
• 1 whole avocado
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 head lettuce

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, lime juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Make sure it is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Rinse the rice in cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables: drain and rinse the black beans, cube the avocado, dice the red onion, and chop the cilantro.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Take the steak out of the fridge to come to room temperature while heating the grill.

Step 6

Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Once cooked, set aside and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Step 7

In a large bowl, toss the cooked rice with black beans, corn, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 8

To assemble the chipotle steak bowls, divide the rice mixture among 4 bowls.

Step 9

Top each bowl with sliced steak, cubed avocado, and sprinkle with cheese.

Step 10

Add a scoop of sour cream and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve with shredded lettuce on the side or layer at the bottom for a salad-style bowl, and enjoy your delicious chipotle steak bowl!
