22 - 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

# Method Steps:

01 - Combine sliced steak with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak in a single layer, ensuring pieces are not overcrowded. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove steak from pan and set aside on a plate.
03 - In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp olive oil. Add sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and lightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
04 - In a separate pan, cook cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5–6 minutes until tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
05 - Divide cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top each portion evenly with sautéed vegetables and seared steak strips.
06 - Garnish bowls with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, and sour cream as desired. Serve immediately while hot.
