High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl

A delicious and nutritious bowl combining tender steak, roasted veggies, and cauliflower rice, packed with flavor and protein.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1/2 yellow onion (sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chipotle peppers, avocado oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add the skirt steak, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate for a few hours or overnight. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion on a baking sheet, drizzle with avocado oil, and season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  3. In a skillet, heat avocado oil over medium heat, add riced cauliflower, and cook until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm in a bowl.
  4. Remove excess marinade from the steak and heat oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until medium rare. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Serve by dividing cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, and sliced steak into bowls. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the steak overnight. Use more chipotle peppers for spice. Consider adding black beans or corn for extra filling.
