1
(15 oz.) can unsalted pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle steak with ¼ tsp. salt and pepper. Add steak to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Place steak on a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into slices; cut slices into ¾ inch pieces.

Add oil to pan; swirl. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes. Add ¼ tsp. salt, stock, beans to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 4 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.

Divide lettuce among 4 shallow bowls. Top evenly with bean mixture, steak, corn, tomato, tortilla chips and avocado. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ tsp. salt and pepper and queso fresco. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve with lime wedges.
