Garnish

Instructions

  • Brown Beef: In a saute pan, heat olive oil to medium, add garlic and onion, and saute for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add ground beef, break it up with a wooden spoon, and add 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning. Saute for 7-10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Add ground beef and onions to the crock pot (but leave grease).
  • Dump and Go: Add beef broth, corn, beans, green chilis, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning to the crock pot. Mix well. Slow cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Serve: Once done, finish in the crock pot with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve in bowls and top with sour cream, cheese, and tortilla strips.

Notes

Storage
Fridge:  Store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. 
Freezer: Store in the freezer for up to 4-6 months.
Substitutions
Taco Seasoning: We highly recommend using your own, homemade taco seasoning because it's not only healthier, but it's just so easy to make. But you can of course use a premade packet. 
Beans:  Use canned or dried beans that are cooked. Use black beans, pinto, kidney, or any of your others.
Green Chilis: We prefer mild, but you can of course use spicy, or fresh chopped green chilis, too! 
Toppings
We highly suggest using some tortilla strips to add to that taco crunch, but also some sour cream and shredded cheese, too!  Go nuts with some fresh pico de gallo or guacamole - whatever you like to top your tacos with!
