Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef (use ground turkey for a healthier, lower calorie option)
  • Olive oil as needed
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 2 jalapeno peppers (chopped)
  • 2 serrano peppers (chopped)
  • 1 bell pepper (chopped (use red or orange for a nice color))
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup corn (frozen works great here)
  • 6 tablespoons taco seasoning (Yes! I love the extra flavor, but you can dial it back to your preference)
  • 28 ounce can whole tomatoes
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 12- ounce can black beans
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges
  • Chopped green onions

Instruction

  • Heat a large pot to medium heat and add a couple tablespoons olive oil. Add ground beef or turkey along with onion and peppers. Cook about 8-10 minutes to brown the meat and soften the onion and peppers.
  • Add garlic and stir. Cook another minute or so.
  • Add taco seasoning and stir to incorporate.
  • Add whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, corn and chicken stock. Stir. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20-30 minutes. The flavors will develop more the longer you leave it. It will smell so good in the house!
  • Serve into bowls and squeeze a bit of lime juice over the top, then swirl it in. Just a bit, about ¼ to ½ a lime.
  • Top with your desired ingredients. We used some cilantro, green onions, jalapeno slices, tortilla chips, cheddar cheese and lime wedges. So good!
