Ingredients

1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 pound boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
1 medium green pepper, julienned
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned

1 teaspoon Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups torn mixed salad greens
