Ingredients:

Protein: Steak (or your protein of choice, I used John Soules Food for convenience)
- Seasoning:
  - Black Pepper
  - Onion Powder
  - Garlic Powder
  - Chili Powder
  - Smoked Paprika
  - Cumin
Base: Minute® Cilantro & Lime Jasmine Rice
Toppings: Lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, onion, mozzarella cheese
Optional Extras: Nonfat plain Greek yogurt, Herdez® Taqueria Avocado Cilantro Street Sauce, Avocado, Beans, Corn, Salsas

Instructions:

Cook the Protein:
- Season your steak (or chosen protein) with salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side (or until cooked to your liking). I also cooked my onions with the steak.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Prepare the Rice:
- Cook the Minute® Cilantro & Lime Jasmine Rice according to package instructions.
- Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Chop the Veggies:
- Dice the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
- Shred or chop the lettuce.
Assemble the Bowl:
- Start with a base of rice.
- Add your protein.
- Top with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Add the Finishing Touches:
- Add a dollop of nonfat plain Greek yogurt as a high-protein sour cream alternative.
- Drizzle with Herdez® Taqueria Avocado Cilantro Street Sauce for extra flavor.
- If using beans, corn, or salsa, add them to the bowl.
Enjoy!
- Mix it all together or keep it layered—however you like it.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade, macro-friendly Chipotle bowl!
