Description
A delicious and easy recipe for a Steak Queso Rice Bowl, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 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, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and season with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the queso cheese sauce over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the rice mixture among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked steak and drizzle with warm queso cheese sauce.
- Finish with diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the rice mixture.
- Substitute the flank steak with grilled chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
