Healthy Steak Burrito Bowl

Want to take your steak dinner to go? Serve up a satisfying supper in the form of a burrito bowl! Featuring tender slow cooked steak and all of your favorite burrito fillings, this hearty yet healthy meal is packed with protein and sure to keep you satisfied.

The first step to this healthy burrito bowl recipe is making a seasoning rub for the flank steak. We used a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper and cayenne pepper. However, feel free to switch up the spices with your favorite flavors! Once you’ve got your seasoning blend together, rub it on both sides of a lean flank steak.

Now that your steak is seasoned, it’s time for slow cooking! Place the flank steak into a slow cooker with a half-cup if water and some lime juice. Cook it on LOW for six hours. Shred it up when it’s finished cooking.

Using the remaining lime juice, some lime zest and chopped cilantro, whip up a quick and easy cilantro lime brown rice. It’s the perfect burrito bowl filler! Gather your other ingredients, including shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, crushed reduced sodium tortilla chips, guacamole and shredded reduced fat Mexican cheese. Divide the ingredients equally among four bowls before digging in!

Pro Tip: Divvy up the ingredients into four meal prep containers for easy lunches or dinners that you can grab and go!
