New program = new recipes! I kicked off LIIFT4 today with my girls in my group and I can already tell I am going to love it! (Read my last blog post for details on that...)

So I have totally been addicted to this fajita bowl from our favorite local pub and I realized I needed it on my meal plan to get my fix without having to spend money eating out...so I recreated it to fit into my meal plan (i.e. not 3 cups of brown rice like they give you when you go out) and it is definitely awesome. All that is missing is a margarita but that will have to wait until "cheat" day! 

I am going to keep this recipe vague because it is super simple but if you have questions, comment below. 

What You Need (1 serving):

1 cup bell peppers
3/4 cup steak seasoned w/ southwest seasoning (seasoning recipe below) 
1/2 cup mix of corn, black beans & brown rice
2 tbsp guac or avocado
2 tbsp cheese (your choice, I did cheddar, the restaurant uses cojita) 

How To Prepare:

1. Rub steak w/ southwest seasoning. Grill or cook steak to your liking. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Then slice it or cube it.
2. Grill peppers & then slice it or dice it.
3. Combine 1/2 cup of corn, black beans & brown rice for your base of your fajita bowl. I used canned corned but grilled corn taken off the cob would be SO good (just a thought).
4. Make your guac w/ a splash of lime juice, pinch of salt & red pepper flakes. 
5. Put your bowl together! Eat & enjoy. Or if you are like me, inhale & enjoy. 

Southwest Seasoning:

2 TBSP chili powder
4 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp coriander
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregno
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp sea salt

Mix seasonings together and put in a container, there should be some left after you season the steak! I use this seasoning for taco meat, chicken, anything really!
