Instructions

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the flank steak with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grill or pan-sear the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, prepare the rice and heat the black beans and corn.
Layer the ingredients in individual bowls, starting with rice, followed by black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Slice the steak and arrange it on top of each bowl.
Add optional toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and salsa or pico de gallo.
Squeeze lime juice on top and serve immediately

Notes

storage: Store leftover ingredients separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat steak, rice, and beans, but avoid reheating fresh toppings.
Variations: Use grilled chicken for a leaner option or replace steak with grilled tofu or roasted vegetables for a vegetarian version.
