Method

  1. Preheat a grill pan or skillet on medium-high heat until it is just starting to smoke.

  2. In a bowl, mix together garlic powder, chili powder, kosher salt, paprika, and cumin. Rub this mixture onto all sides of the flank steak.

  3. Place the flank steak on the preheated grill pan and cook for about 8 minutes, flipping it halfway through, until it is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

  4. Allow the steak to rest on a work surface for 10 minutes. Then, thinly slice the steak against the grain.

  5. Divide rice, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, tortilla chips, black beans, jalapeno peppers, and lime wedges between 2 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the sliced steak, cotija cheese, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro.

  6. In a blender, combine avocados, water, 1/2 cup cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until the dressing is smooth.

  7. Pour the dressing over each serving bowl.
