Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juices), black beans, corn, broth, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot in bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping or crumbling on top.
