  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
  • plus 1 lime cut into wedges for serving
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pinto or black beans
  • drained and rinsed
  • 4 radishes
  • halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 scallions
  • finely chopped
  • 4 cups baby arugula or torn arugula
  • 3/4 cup crumbled Cotija

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the millet and cook until the millet is tender, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and rinse under cool water, shaking out as much water as possible.

  4. 4

    Transfer the millet to a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.

  5. 5

    Add the cumin seeds to a small dry skillet set over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Toast 3 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan regularly, until you smell a nutty aroma and hear some gratifying crackling and popping.

  7. 7

    Remove from skillet quickly to avoid burning.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle to gently crush, or tip out onto a cutting board and use a heavy-bottomed pot to do the same.

  9. 9

    In a small bowl, combine the cumin, lime juice, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.

  10. 10

    Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil.

  11. 11

    Add the pinto beans, radishes, scallions, and arugula to the bowl with the millet.

  12. 12

    Drizzle in the dressing and toss with a fork to combine.

  13. 13

    Sprinkle with the cheese and pumpkin seeds and serve with a lime wedge, plus salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
