this is actually the first meal prep i ever made back in school when i didn’t know what meal prep was and i couldn’t afford chipotle every day. i’ve made this probably half a dozen times now! and i’ve overcooked the shit out of my steak every single time! i love learning from my mistakes!

yields: 4 bowls

course: lunch or din

prep time: 40 mins (i’m slow and being realistic about it)

cook time: 5 mins

total time: 45 mins


what you’ll need

for the steak and marinade

  • 1/2 of a 7 oz can of chipotles in adobo sauce (i misread this the last time and used the whole can and its just a little spicier so thats cool)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1.5 lbs skirt steak

for the rest of the bowl (you can freestyle on this part but this is what i do)

  • 1 cup dry rice, cooked
  • 1 romaine heart
  • 1/4 cup guac, homemade (my recipe here) or store-bought
  • 1/4 cup pico, homemade (my recipe here) or store-bought
  • 1 dollop of greek yogurt (as sour cream- or you could use sour cream if you’re not fiending for every gram of protein)

instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients together in a blender and process until smooth.
  2. Using a fork, poke some holes into the steak for better sauce penetration 😉
  3. Add the blended marinade and the steak to a ziploc bag or tupperware for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Cook steak to desired doneness and combine with other fav toppings and enjoy!
