Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, black beans, and corn to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 5
Top the salad with the cooked taco-seasoned ground beef.
Step 6
Add the crushed tortilla chips on top for crunch.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and salsa to create a creamy taco dressing. Drizzle it over the salad.

Top with diced avocado and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 9
Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and serve immediately. Enjoy!
