Brown the meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and water; simmer until the liquid coats the meat. Cool 5 minutes.
02
Arrange romaine in a large bowl. Add beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, cheddar, olives, and seasoned meat.
03
Add dressing and toss just before serving. Fold in tortilla chips last so they remain crisp.
