1 can navy beans, drained and rinsed

½ tsp chili powder

¼ tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

½ c salsa, divided

1 tbsp lime juice

1½ c shredded lettuce

1 lg avocado, chopped

1 sm chopped tomato

baked tortilla strips

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat.  Drain well and return to pan.  Mix in salsa, lime juice, beans, chili powder, salt, and pepper; heat through.  Divide lettuce among serving bowls.  Add meat mixture, and top with avocado, tomato, onion, and tortilla strips.  Serves 4.

Adrienne's helpful hint: Use a pizza cutter to cut tortillas into strips, and use the broiler setting on your oven to crisp them quickly.
