Cook the ground beef in the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl along with the black beans and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 6
Lightly crumble the tortilla chips and mix them into the salad for extra crunch.
Step 7
Add the cooked ground beef to the salad bowl and gently toss all the ingredients together.
