Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 15 oz kidney beans
  • 15 oz black beans
  • 15 oz corn kernels
  • 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 8 oz tomato sauce

  • Shredded cheddar cheese for topping

  • Diced tomatoes for topping
  • Avocado for topping
  • Corn chips for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the chopped onion to the pot with the browned beef, and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. Mix everything well to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, fresh diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and corn chips on the side for dipping.
