Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine summer lettuces, pico de gallo, sweet corn, black beans, and cooked rice. Toss to mix evenly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Divide the salad mixture among serving plates. Top each serving with sliced steak, a dollop of guacamole, and drizzle with chipotle dressing.
