Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef use ground turkey for a healthier, lower calorie option
- olive oil as needed
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 Jalapeno pepper chopped (use serrano pepper for spicier)
- 1 bell pepper chopped (or use a 4-ounce can diced green chilies)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 cup corn (frozen works great here)
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning (or more to taste)
- 28 ounce can whole tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 can black beans (12 ounces) drained
- 1 can pinto beans (12 ounces) drained (or use kidney beans or more black beans)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- salt and pepper to taste

FOR SERVING/OPTIONAL/IDEAS
- Chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, Jalapeno slices, Lime wedges, Tortilla chips, Shredded cheddar cheese, Sour cream, avocado – anything you might put on a taco
Instructions
- 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!
