Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 packet ranch seasoning
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can pinto beans, undrained
1 can black beans, undrained
1 can kidney beans, undrained
1 can corn, drained
1–2 cans diced tomatoes (with or without green chiles)
1–2 cups water or beef/chicken broth
Salt, black pepper, and cumin to taste (optional)
Garnishes: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, chopped green onion or cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
- Brown ground meat with onion and garlic in a large pot over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in ranch seasoning, taco seasoning, and cumin if using.
- Add pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans (all undrained), corn (drained), diced tomatoes (with juices), and water or broth.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and top with desired garnishes. Serve hot.
Notes
Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
Make it vegetarian by omitting meat and using vegetable broth and extra veggies.
Add cream cheese during simmering for a creamy variation.
For slow cooker: brown meat first, then combine all ingredients and cook on low for 6–8 hours.
Adjust spice level with jalapeños, hot sauce, or spicy seasonings.
