Ingredients
Method
In small bowl, stir together chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
In large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain fat from pan. Add spice mixture and beans; cook for 2 minutes.
Divide romaine among 4 serving bowls. Spoon beef mixture over each; top with tomatoes, sweet pepper, avocado and Cheddar.
Sprinkle with tortilla chips. Dollop with sour cream (if using); top with cilantro (if using).
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Not all tortilla chips are created equal. If you eat gluten-free, opt for corn varieties and avoid multigrain versions. To reduce fat consumption, choose chips that are baked rather than fried.
