Wash and dry produce.

Heat a #medium pan{} over medium-high heat. Using kitchen shears, cut @bacon{8%ounce} into bite-size pieces directly into pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 3-5 minutes. (TIP: Adjust heat if browning too quickly.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Drain and rinse @black beans{2%unit}. Trim and thinly slice @scallions{4%unit}, separating whites from greens.

In a #large bowl{}, combine beans, scallion whites, half the @garlic powder{2%tsp}, a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tsp}, @salt{}, and @pepper{}. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until beans are warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from @baby lettuce{2%unit}; roughly chop. Dice @tomato{2%unit} into ½-inch pieces.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{6%tbsp}, @mayonnaise{4%tbsp}, remaining garlic powder, a drizzle of @olive oil{1%tsp}, and as much @hot sauce{2%tsp} as you like. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Set dressing aside.

To bowl with bean mixture, add lettuce, tomato, bacon, and half the @mexican cheese blend{1%cup}. Drizzle with as much dressing as you like; toss to combine.

Divide salad between shallow bowls and garnish with scallion greens, @croutons{2%unit} (lightly crush in package first), and remaining Mexican cheese blend. Serve.
