Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease, and set aside to cool slightly.

- Start assembling the salad in a large serving bowl, serving platter, or individual plates. Begin with the romaine, followed by the cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, black beans, red onion, avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the cooked ground beef to the salad. Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top for crunch.
- Serve the salsa-yogurt dressing on the side, so each person can add their preferred amount.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
