This sounds like a light, Mexican version of the classic Seven-Layered Salad. You could add black beans, chicken breast, or other protein to make it more filling, if you wanted to serve it as a main-course salad. I think a mixture of sour cream and mayo would also be good in the dressing, and I think sliced olives would be nice on top, too.
Ingredients:
4 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 large cucumber, peeled, halved, and sliced
3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and sliced
2 large green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup canned diced green chiles
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a 2-quart trifle dish or glass bowl, layer the first five ingredients.
2. Combine the mayonnaise, chilies, and seasonings; spread over the top of the salad.
3. Sprinkle crushed chips and cheese over the top and serve immediately.
