Plus it’s so versatile that everyone can add whatever toppings they like, so even kids love these.
Easy Marinated Steak
The first thing to do when creating these delicious fajita bowls is prepare the meat. This can be done earlier in the day so you don’t even need to worry about it. Then it’s perfectly flavored for when you’re ready to assemble the rest of the ingredients. Here’s all you need for a perfect steak marinade:
About a pound of steak. I use top round and it’s tender and flavorful. But because you’re slicing it up, you can use cheaper cuts of meat and it works great! Try skirt steak, flank steak or sirloin, whatever you have on hand or whatever is on sale that week.Season the meat with a tablespoon of fajita seasoning (save the rest of the packet for later)Use a can of green chilies, which will add just the right amount of heat and flavor to the steak.Toss in a clove or two of fresh garlic. You don’t even need to dice them. Just give them a smash with a knife and let the flavors do their thing!Add a bit of beef broth (about half a cup) and mix all the ingredients together.Place all the ingredients and the steak in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for at least an hour. I usually throw this together in the morning and let it marinate all day until it’s time to cook.
Suggestions for Fajita Rice Bowls
Don’t drain all the liquid out of the marinade before cooking the meat; you’ll want some of that delicious flavor to soak in during the cooking process.Feel free to use any color of peppers you like! I love using red and green peppers along with thin slices of onion, but you could use yellow, orange, just any colors you want! These are so colorful and flavorful.I like to use black beans for these fajita bowls but you can use any kind of canned beans you have on hand: pinto, kidney, navy bean, anything you like.You can use Spanish rice (I like the Knorr Fiesta brand but any kind will work) or you can make your own Easy Restaurant Style Mexican Rice.Top with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes or salsa.
