   • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
   • Remove the steak from the skillet, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
2. Veggie Time:
   • In the same skillet, toss in the onions and red bell peppers.
   • Sauté them until they’re tender and have a slight char, about 5 minutes.
   • Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the Protein-Packed Steak Burrito:
   • Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds.
   • Spread a tablespoon of Greek yogurt on each tortilla.
   • Layer with half of the brown rice, black beans, veggies, and juicy steak strips.
   • Top with avocado slices, sprinkle some fresh cilantro, and zest some lime over the top.
   • Roll the tortilla, folding in the sides as you go, ensuring everything is snugly wrapped up inside.

Pro Tips For Your Steak Burrito:

1. Marinating is Magic: Consider marinating your steak for a couple of hours before cooking. It’ll make it more flavorful and tender.
2. Rice Varieties: Experiment with different types of rice, like quinoa or wild rice, for varied flavors and textures.
3. Heat Level: Spice things up with a dash of chili flakes or a spicy salsa if you’re up for the challenge!

Serving and Enjoying:

• Slice the burrito in half, serving it with a side of fresh salsa or pico de gallo.
• Drizzle with extra Greek yogurt or even a homemade guacamole for that extra oomph.
