Black bean taco soup

             
                This is very easy to make if you have all the canned ingredients on hand. I had some leftover quessadilla burgers I had made earlier in the week. I threw them in the cuisinart to grind and used it to make the soup. Normally, I would use fresh ground beef, but because i had this on hand and I already knew it was seasoned with a Mexican flavor, I knew this would be perfect with this soup.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey tastes so good in this recipe too!)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 package mild taco seasoning mix
• 1 16 oz can corn (undrained)
• 1 16 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed (you could use kidney beans or pinto beans)
• 1 14 oz can stewed tomatoes
• 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 4 oz can diced green chilis
•  tortilla chips
•  Other taco toppings you like (cheese, sour cream, avocado, etc)

Directions:

1. Brown meat and onion, drain
2. Stir in taco seasoning, corn, black beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and green chilis.
3.  Simmer on low heat for 20 to 30 minutes. 
4. Place tortilla chips on bottom of bowl and then pour soup over top. 
5. You can add shredded cheese on top, chopped up scallions, or sour cream.. whatever you like. The first thing my husband reaches for in any meal is the hot sauce. It always has to be hotter.
