Ingredients
  

1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup diced red onion

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup guacamole

1 cup sour cream

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)

1 cup salsa

Tortilla chips for garnish

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Sliced jalapeños for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a large, clear serving bowl or a trifle dish, layer the chopped romaine lettuce at the bottom to create a bed for your salad.

      Add the Beans:

        - Evenly distribute the rinsed and drained black beans over the lettuce layer, creating the second layer.

          Layer the Corn:

            - Sprinkle the corn kernels on top of the beans, forming the third layer.

              Tomatoes and Onions:

                - Next, evenly spread the halved cherry tomatoes and diced red onion over the corn, making sure to cover the whole layer for a pop of color.

                  Cheddar Cheese:

                    - Add the shredded cheddar cheese as the fifth layer, ensuring it covers the tomatoes and onions nicely.

                      Guacamole Layer:

                        - Spoon the guacamole over the cheese, making it the sixth layer. Smooth it out for a nice, even finish.

                          Sour Cream and Salsa:

                            - Finally, dollop the sour cream and drizzle the salsa over the guacamole. You can mix them slightly for a marbled effect or keep them separate for distinct layers.

                              Garnish:

                                - Crush a handful of tortilla chips and sprinkle them over the top for crunch. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños for added flavor and heat.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Serve immediately with extra tortilla chips on the side for scooping. Enjoy your delightful Seven Layer Taco Salad!
