Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the marinade onto the flank steak and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, rinsed black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss gently.
  5. Thinly slice the rested flank steak and lay it over the rice-bean mixture.
  6. Top your bowl with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream or salsa. Serve immediately.
