Homemade Steak Burrito Bowl Recipe
I'm a big fan of burrito bowls since it is so easy to mix them up to match whatever kind of mood I'm in! I can make them spicy with some hot salsa, give a hint of sweetness with some pineapple salsa, or load them up with tons of cheese!
As an added bonus, I can easily prepare all of the separate components in advance, so that I can simply whip up a burrito bowl whenever I like! It's a perfect dish for picky eaters or even a large family since everyone can choose their own toppings!

🔪 How To Make A Steak Burrito Bowl
Cooking the steak (and making the rice if you haven't already) are the only real steps that you need to do before just piling everything into a bowl! Go ahead and grab a skillet, a mixing bowl, and some tongs.
This recipe is for 4 servings, but they are pretty filling!
- Season the meat. Drizzle one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over 1 pound of strips of skirt steak and generously season with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning (or fajita seasoning). Toss until all of the meat is well coated.
- Cook the steak. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When hot, add the steak to the skillet and cook, stirring as needed, until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Prepare the bowls. Divide 4 cups of cilantro lime rice into 4 bowls and then top each bowl with divided portions of 3 cups of corn, 3 cups of black beans, ½ cup of mango salsa, 1 cup of Mexican cheese, 1 diced avocado, and ¼ cup of sour cream.
- Serve. Garnish with ¼ cup of chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
Steak burrito bowls are an all-in-one meal that doesn't need any sides! Anything you'd like to add can just go right into the bowl as well! Enjoy!

❓ Recipe FAQs
Burrito bowls are essentially the inside of a burrito, just lacking the tortilla. They can be as simple as rice and beans or include a wide range of toppings. Anything you would like in a burrito could be included in a burrito bowl!
Burrito bowls can be enjoyed at any temperature. When you make it fresh at home, it will be warm as the steak was just cooked. If you want it warmer, you can always just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds.
The possibilities are endless! Try out a variety of different types of beans, switch it up with brown or white rice, some pico de Gallo, homemade or store-bought salsa, your favorite kind of cheese, sour cream, peppers, or anything else you may like!
