• 1.5 lbs flank steak
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 6 cups romaine, chopped

Method

1. 1

   Season steak generously with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Whisk dairy-free sour cream and lime juice for the crema.

4. 4

   Toss romaine with black beans and corn.

5. 5

   Top with sliced steak and avocado, drizzle with lime crema.
