Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, cook rice according to package instructions.Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together sour cream, cilantro and lime juice; set aside. In separate bowl, stir together chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
In large nonstick skillet or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry onion, green pepper, garlic and half of the chili powder mixture until green pepper is almost tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Toss beef with remaining chili powder mixture to coat. Add to skillet; stir-fry until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in beans and salsa; cook until heated through.
Divide rice among plates or bowls. Top with beef mixture and lettuce. Serve with sour cream mixture.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: For a spicier dish, use hot salsa; otherwise, we recommend medium.
