Description

A nutritious and filling steak fajita bowl loaded with vibrant veggies and a zesty kick, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped) with sauce
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag riced cauliflower
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1/2 yellow onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chipotle peppers, avocado oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Marinate skirt steak in the mixture for a few hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast sliced bell pepper and onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a skillet, add riced cauliflower, and cook until golden and tender about 15 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove excess marinade from steak, and sear in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
  5. Assemble bowls with riced cauliflower, roasted veggies, and sliced steak. Serve immediately.

Notes

For added flavor, consider topping with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
