Healthy Steak Burrito Bowls
Ok so I’m sure you have noticed by now I love anything in a bowl! It’s just so filling and satisfying to make! So here is a delicious recipe I found on Pinterest a while back and has become a staple at home. 🏡
STEAK
▢ 1 lbs lean steak such as flank steak or sirloin (4 oz per bowl)
▢ 1-2 tbsp avocado oil
▢ 2 tsp chili powder
▢ 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
▢ 1/2 tsp paprika
▢ 1/2 tsp garlic powder
▢ 1/2 tsp oregano
▢ Salt and pepper to taste
BOWLS
▢ 1 cup jasmine rice or quinoa cooked
▢ 2 cups shredded lettuce
▢ 1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
▢ 1/3 cup shredded cheese reduced-fat or dairy-free alternative
▢ 1 red onion diced
▢ 1 cup corn kernels fresh, canned, or frozen
▢ 1/4 cup guacamole
▢ 1/2 cup pico de gallo
▢ 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
▢ Lime wedges
LIME CREMA
▢ 1 cup light sour cream or Greek yogurt
▢ 1-2 whole limes juice and zest
▢ salt to taste
Prepare the Steak: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat. Add the seasoning to a bowl and mix to combine. Next, season the steak on both sides with the prepared seasoning. Grill or sear the steak with avocado oil for a few minutes on each side until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Warm the Beans and Corn: In two small saucepans, warm the black beans and corn kernels over medium heat until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and any additional spices you like.
Lime Crema: In a small bowl, add the sour cream or Greek yogurt along with the lime juice, zest, and salt. Mix until combined.
Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of lettuce at the bottom of each bowl. Around the bowl, begin to build with rice, corn, black beans, shredded cheese, and red onion. Top with guacamole, lime crema, and fresh cilantro.

Burrito bowls are a versatile and customizable meal option that fuels your body with essential nutrients. These bowls can incorporate various ingredients, allowing for personal tastes and dietary restrictions. While lean steak provides a significant protein boost, you can substitute with plant-based alternatives like grilled tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version. Consider experimenting with toppings, such as avocado, Greek yogurt, or different salsas to elevate flavor while keeping the dish healthy. Traditional ingredients, like rice or quinoa, serve as wholesome bases, but alternatives like cauliflower rice offer a low-carb option without sacrificing flavor. Additionally, these bowls can be prepared in advance, making them ideal for busy weeks. Cook larger batches of the steak and veggies, and assemble each bowl quickly when it’s time to eat. Healthy steak burrito bowls are not only easy to prepare but are also visually appealing, making them a hit at gatherings or family dinners. Remember, the key is to balance protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables to craft the ideal healthy burrito bowl tailored to your preferences. This nourishing meal can keep you satisfied while supporting a healthy lifestyle.
