Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to the bowl along with the corn kernels.
Peel and dice the avocado, then layer it into the salad along with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Lightly crush the tortilla chips into smaller bite-sized pieces and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lime, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt to prepare the dressing.
Pour the dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients in the dressing.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the top of the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
