"This easy salad features colorful peppers, beans, tomato and tender strips of beef. The beef marinates for only 10 minutes, but gets great flavor from the lime juice, cilantro and chili powder."

I really enjoyed this recipe. I love citrus, so the lime really made this dish for me. Substituted rice for the beans and it worked out great.
