Nonstick cooking spray

1/2
pound beef round steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

3
cloves garlic, minced

1
can (about 15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained

can (about 4 ounces) diced mild green chilies, drained

1/4
cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

6
(6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed

1/2
cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Salsa and fat-free sour cream (optional)

Spray nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add steak and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes or until steak is cooked to desired doneness.

2.
