Combine ground beef, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper in a skillet over medium heat; cook until beef is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes, breaking up beef into chunks as it cooks. Drain excess grease, remove from heat, and cool.

Step 2

Toss lettuce, tortilla chips, cheese, beans, tomato, onion, and jalapeño in a large bowl. Stir in beef until well combined.

Step 3

Whisk oil, sugar, ketchup, taco seasoning, vinegar, and Worcestershire together in a bowl until sugar dissolves; pour over salad and toss to coat.
