    Cooking spray
    1 pound ground round
    1 garlic clove, minced
    3 cups cooked yellow rice
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    6 cups torn romaine lettuce (about 10 ounces)
    3 cups chopped tomato (about 1 1/4 pounds)
    1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
    1/2 cup chopped red onion
    1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

    Dressing:

    Remaining ingredient:

    Recipe



    To prepare salad, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add beef and garlic, and cook 9 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain; return beef mixture to pan. Stir in rice and next 4 ingredients (rice through pepper). Cool slightly.
    Combine lettuce and next 4 ingredients (lettuce through beans) in a large bowl; toss to combine.

    To prepare dressing, combine sour cream, picante sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin, stirring with a whisk. Spoon dressing over lettuce mixture; toss to coat. Place 1 1/3 cups lettuce mixture on each of 6 plates. Top with 3/4 cup rice mixture and about 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese.

    Yield: 6 servings
