Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small sweet onion , diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8.75 ounce can corn kernels , drained
- 15 ounce can black beans , rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 1/4 cups enchilada sauce
- 16 ounce jar mild salsa
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- tortilla chips, Mexican shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado , for serving
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, warm oil over medium-high heat. Cook the beef and onions until the onions are translucent and the beef is browned with no pink remaining, about 3 minutes. Drain off fat and return to heat. Season with the salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Transfer meat to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add in the corn, black beans, taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, salsa, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
- Ladle into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, a few avocado cubes, and broken up tortilla chips.NOTE: This has a slight kick to it. If you want less heat, use very mild enchilada sauce or replace it with regular tomato sauce.Don't have a crockpot? No problem. Brown the beef and onions in a large pot instead of skillet, drain off the fat, then add all the other ingredients in. Cover and cook over a gentle simmer for 30-60 minutes until the flavors have blended.
