# Directions:
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 evenly. Let 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, working in batches if needed. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove steak from the pan and set aside on a plate.
03 - Add another 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. 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 - While vegetables cook, heat cauliflower rice in a separate pan over medium heat for 5–6 minutes until tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
05 - Divide cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top each portion with sautéed vegetables and steak strips.
06 - Garnish with avocado slices, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, and sour cream as desired. Serve immediately while hot.
