Description

A warm and hearty steak fajita bowl with marinated skirt steak, riced cauliflower, and roasted veggies, perfect for cozy 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 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. Combine the marinade ingredients: chipotle peppers, 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, lime juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Add the skirt steak, tossing to coat in the marinade. Let it marinate for a few hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) while preparing the veggies.
  4. Slice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into strips. Place them on a sheet pan, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
  5. Roast the veggies in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  6. Heat 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  7. Shake off the excess marinade from the steak. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
  8. Add the skirt steak, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes per side until medium-rare.
  9. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Assemble your bowls by adding a scoop of riced cauliflower, followed by the roasted veggies, and topping with sliced steak.

Notes

You can make the marinade and cut the veggies in advance for a quick dinner. Storage suggestions: leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
