In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Add the cooked taco meat to the salad and toss gently to combine.

Drizzle the ranch dressing and hot sauce over the salad, then top with crushed Doritos. Toss lightly before serving.
