- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels

Directions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

- While the steak is resting, prepare the toppings. In separate bowls, arrange the cooked rice, black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapenos, sliced black olives, salsa, and guacamole.
- Slice the grilled steak into thin strips against the grain.
- Assemble the burrito bowls by dividing the cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced grilled steak.
