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.

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.

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.
