📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

2. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the ground beef or turkey to the pot, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

4. Stir in the taco seasoning, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.

5. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and beef or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

6. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the black beans, pinto beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine, then let the soup simmer gently for 20 minutes to meld the flavors.

7. Stir in the freshly chopped cilantro and lime juice right before serving for a burst of brightness.

8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.
