Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning (or store-bought as a substitute)
  • 1 jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso (15 oz)
  • 1 can cream of potato soup
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups beef broth (or 1 14.5-ounce can)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 can fire-roasted diced green chiles
  • 2–3 cups frozen corn (feel free to adjust quantity based on preference)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • Multigrain Tostitos Scoops Chips (for serving)

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for added protein.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with plant-based ground meat and use vegetable broth.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

In a dutch oven, over medium-high heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until it is almost completely browned, about 3 minutes.

Step 2: Season the Meat

Drain excess fat, if necessary. Add 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the liquid thickens slightly, stirring occasionally (about 2 minutes).

Step 3: Combine the Base Ingredients

In a large pot, add 1 jar of Tostitos Salsa Con Queso, 1 can of cream of potato soup, 1 1/4 cups of sour cream, 1 1/4 cups of beef broth, and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Whisk to combine until smooth.

Step 4: Add Vegetables and Beans

Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in 1/2 can fire-roasted diced green chiles, 2-3 cups of frozen corn, 1 can of black beans (drained), and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 5: Simmer and Serve

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for an additional 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the flavors meld together perfectly.

Step 6: Serve with Chips

Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped cilantro and Multigrain Tostitos Scoops Chips for dipping. Enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  1. For a Thinner Consistency: Add equal amounts of beef and chicken broth to adjust the thickness to your liking.
  2. Spice It Up: Increase the amount of fire-roasted diced green chiles or add a dash of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
  3. Make it Creamier: Stir in an additional 1/2 cup of sour cream before serving for a richer texture.
