6. Transfer the rice to a large bowl, add the black beans and cilantro and stir to combine.
7. Slice the plantain on the diagonal into 1/4 inch thick slices.
8. Place coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add plantain slices and fry until golden brown on each side. Season liberally with kosher salt.
9. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
10. To assemble the bowls:
Place an equal amount of rice, beef, plantains and peppers in meal prep bowls. Garnish with a slice of lime and sprig of cilantro.
