Instructions

Prepare the Rice Base: Rinse and cook your preferred rice according to package instructions, adding a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice to the water. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Season the Prime Rib: Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub over the prime rib slices. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear slices 1–2 minutes per side until warmed and lightly caramelized.
Prepare the Vegetables: Dice red bell pepper and red onion, halve cherry tomatoes, slice avocado, and rinse black beans. If using frozen corn, cook briefly in a skillet with olive oil until heated.
Assemble the Burrito Bowl: Place rice in the bottom of each bowl. Layer black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Arrange prime rib slices on top.
Add Toppings and Garnishes: Sprinkle cheese and cilantro over the bowl, add avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Finish with lime juice.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, with extra lime wedges and hot sauce if desired.
