Step 1
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
If using fresh corn, char in the same skillet for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. If frozen, warm 2 minutes. If canned, skip.
Step 3
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into chunks.
Step 4
Divide greens between two plates or bowls. Arrange bacon, corn, beans, avocado, and cheese in rows on top.
Step 5
Whisk lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped cilantro, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle dressing over the salad. Serve immediately.
