Southwestern Prime Rib Chopped Salad

*this recipe is to serve about ten people as a main dish salad. You can scale it down to whatever you need*

2-3 lbs steak or prime rib cooked and chopped into bite size squares (Bill Bailey's Santa Rosa meat is what I use and you can find it at Costco or Albertsons. If you buy your own meat, rub it with Lawry's Seasoned Pepper before cooking to get a nice flavorful coating)
4 heads Romaine lettuce chopped
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 can corn drained
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 purple onion diced
4 Roma tomatoes or 2 med tomatoes
1 block Pepper Jack cheese cut into cubes
2 small bell peppers (I like red, orange, or yellow for color and sweetness)
Lawry's Seasoned Pepper blend (a few good shakes into the salad)
Crushed tortilla chips (or if you have time, thinly sliced corn tortilla strips deep fried)

Dressing: 2 parts Ranch to 1 part BBQ sauce (I've tried a number of types of BBQ over the years, they are ALL good!)

Combine all and top with tortilla chips and dressing right before serving.
