Ingridients
1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain For the Marinade: 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (use more or less depending on your spice preference) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Bowls: 2-3 cups cooked white or brown rice, warm 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned and drained) 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 lime, cut into wedges 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional) Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, for serving (optional) 
Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and toss well to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Prepare Bowl Components: While the beef is marinating, prepare your toppings. Cook your rice if you haven't already. Warm the black beans and corn in a small saucepan or in the microwave until heated through. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion and avocado, and chop the cilantro.
Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. The pan should be hot to get a good sear. Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which will steam the meat instead of searing it). Cook for about 4–6 minutes, stirring or flipping the pieces occasionally, until the beef is nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the heat.
Assemble Your Burrito Bowls: Divide the warm cooked rice evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top the rice with a generous portion of the cooked chipotle beef. Arrange the black beans, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and sliced avocado in sections around the beef. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, if using.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish each bowl with a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your amazing homemade Chipotle Beef Burrito Bowl!

Slicing the Steak: For tender beef, be sure to slice it thinly against the grain. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo: These come in a small can and are very potent! Start with the recommended amount and add more if you love heat. You can freeze leftover peppers and sauce in an ice cube tray for future use. Hot Pan for Searing: Make sure your skillet is nice and hot before adding the beef. This gives it a delicious crust. Don't overcrowd the pan! Meal Prep Champion: Cook the beef and rice ahead of time. Store them, along with the beans and corn, in airtight containers. Chop fresh veggies and assemble your bowls for quick and easy meals throughout the week. Keep the avocado and cilantro separate to add just before serving. Protein Swaps: This marinade is also fantastic on chicken thighs or even shrimp! Veggie Boost: Feel free to add other veggies like sautéed bell peppers and onions, or roasted sweet potatoes.
Salsa or Pico de Gallo: For extra freshness and flavor. Guacamole: Instead of sliced avocado. Pickled Jalapeños or Onions: For a tangy, spicy kick. Crushed Tortilla Chips: For a little crunch on top.
