Instructions

  1. Make Corn Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine corn, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
  2. Prepare Steak: Pat flank steak dry and season with salt and pepper. Place in a bag or dish for marinating.
  3. Marinate Steak: Combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, garlic, soy sauce, and salt in a bowl. Pour over steak and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Cook Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Cook Veggies: In the same skillet, add chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Sauté garlic for 1 minute, then add onions and bell peppers. Stir in fajita seasoning and cook for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  6. Serve: Slice steak against the grain and assemble bowls with rice, steak, veggies, corn salsa, guacamole, and toppings of choice.
