Who doesn't love a good bowl?! Grain bowls, noodle bowls, smoothie bowls. If it's in a bowl, we're down. One day though, we'll all decided that bowls are out and something else is in, but today is not that day—thank goodness! Because this Tequila Lime Steak Fajita Bowl is way too tasty to pass up.
They come together in minutes and are seriously filling and wildly delicious. The only real prep required is to saute the veggies and to grill the meat. If you don't have all the ingredients, scroll down for swap suggestions that are just as tasty!
If you're making this for more people, you'll just need to prep your toppings accordingly.
The recipe makes a little extra steak than you'll need for 1 bowl, so either feel free to share it OR save it for leftovers later in the week. I highly suggest a quesadilla situation with some pepperjack and more sauteed veggies—you won't be mad about it!
