"Chipotle, who?"

Tips and Tidbits:

• Yield: The recipe card below provides portions for 2 bowls. You can also double the amounts if you’re meal prepping.

• Make ahead: Marinate the protein the night before. Chop up the pico de gallo the day before you plan to eat. Sear the peppers the night before and store in the fridge.

• Leftovers: Save any leftovers (though not likely!) for more bowls, or make a sheet tray of nachos in the oven and dig in.

• Pick out some other ingredients: if you prefer substitutions. No steak? Go for chicken or even tofu. Cilantro lime rice is also great with this bowl. Instead of black beans, you could try pinto or white beans.
