Instructions

Marinate the Steak – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Coat the steak in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for more flavor).
Cook the Steak – Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the Cilantro-Lime Rice – In a bowl, mix warm cooked rice with lime juice, chopped cilantro, butter (or olive oil), and salt. Stir well to combine.
Assemble the Bowls – Divide the cilantro-lime rice into bowls. Top with sliced steak, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce, and jalapeños.

Serve & Enjoy – Drizzle with extra lime juice or hot sauce if desired!
