Prepare the marinade by combining onions, garlic, oregano, cumin powder, chili seasoning, salt, chipotle sauce, olive oil, and water in a blender.

Blend the marinade until smooth.

Place the steak in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it, sealing the bag and marinating for 5 to 8 hours.

Preheat a pan on high heat and add the marinated steak.

Cook the steak on high heat until browned on both sides, then reduce the heat to medium to finish cooking.

While the steak is cooking, prepare the rice.

In a separate pan, cook onions and peppers for the fajita filling for 3 to 4 minutes, keeping the peppers crunchy.

Add cilantro, salt, and chipotle spices to the peppers and cook for another minute or two.

Cook the pinto beans and corn until heated through.

Once the rice is cooked, add cilantro and lemon juice to it.

Assemble the bowl with rice, pinto beans, corn, cooked steak, peppers, guacamole, tomatoes, and sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese if desired.
