Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso
• 1 can potato soup (10.75 oz)
• 1 1/4 cups sour cream
• 1 can fire-roasted diced green chilies (4 oz)
• 1 1/4 cups beef broth
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup pinto beans or black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef:
   • In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
2. Season the Beef:
   • Add taco seasoning and water to the beef, cooking until the water is absorbed and the beef is well seasoned.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   • Transfer the seasoned beef to a Dutch oven or large pot. Add the jar of salsa, can of potato soup, sour cream, and both beef and chicken broths. Stir well until the sour cream is melted and everything is combined.
4. Add Remaining Ingredients:
   • Stir in the diced chilies, corn, and beans. Mix thoroughly.
5. Heat Through:
   • Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the chili hot with tortilla chips or Fritos on the side. Add sliced jalapeños or any other desired toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions.

Notes:

• Ground Beef: You can swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken if you prefer a leaner option.
• Beans: Use either pinto beans or black beans based on your preference or what you have on hand.
• Spice Level: Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your taste. You can also add hot sauce or chili powder for extra heat.
• Toppings: Get creative with chili toppings! Try adding shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.

Storage:

• Leftovers: Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave before serving.
