- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
Liquid and Vegetables:
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can potato soup
- 1 can fire roasted diced green chilis
- 1 1/4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup pinto beans or black beans
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and thoroughly brown the ground beef, carefully removing any excess grease.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat and incorporate water, cooking until liquid completely evaporates.
- Transfer seasoned beef into a large Dutch oven or stockpot.
- Pour in salsa, potato soup, and sour cream, stirring continuously until ingredients integrate smoothly and sour cream melts completely.
- Incorporate green chilis, corn, and selected beans, mixing thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Elevate heat to generate a robust boil, then immediately reduce temperature to a gentle simmer.
- Stir frequently to prevent bottom scorching and maintain consistent texture, allowing flavors to meld for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- When ready to serve, ladle into deep bowls and accompany with crispy tortilla chips or crunchy Fritos.
- Customize heat level by sprinkling fresh chopped jalapeños on top for additional zest.
Notes
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner, vegetarian-friendly version that maintains the robust flavor profile.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium broths and homemade taco seasoning, perfect for health-conscious eaters watching their salt intake.
- Create a gluten-free option by ensuring all packaged ingredients like salsa and soup are certified gluten-free, making the chili accessible for those with dietary restrictions.
