Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the rinsed black beans, corn, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture is heated through and fragrant. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced roma tomatoes, and finely diced red onion. Toss gently to mix the salad greens and vegetables.
Divide the lettuce mixture evenly among eight large bowls. Top each bowl with a generous portion of the warm bean and corn mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and add diced avocado. Drizzle each salad with salsa and add a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with crushed tortilla chips and serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side.
