This is such a popular recipe in my family I had to give it its own blog post. Twice I've had guests request it and it is one of BOTH of my kids' top three favorite meals. It really is made a bit differently and is easy, especially if you do a little prep before dinnertime. I usually chop the onions, peppers and carrots the night before or morning of if I know dinnertime is going to be a little crazy.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey (or beef)
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp taco seasoning (I like Real Fit Real Food Mom's recipe)
2-3 bell peppers, any color, chopped1 cup carrots, chopped
1 Tbsp homemade taco seasoning
1-2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes (or fresh chopped tomatoes if you have some to use up)
4 oz can of diced chiles
1-2 cups chicken broth
1 cup black beans, rinsed (optional)
1 cup corn (optional)
Optional toppings (are these really optional?)
cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
sour cream or greek yogurt (add some lime juice!)
green onions, chopped
Directions:
Brown the ground beef or ground turkey on the stovetop with the onions and garlic. Drain if necessary and then add taco seasoning. Once browned, add the chopped carrots, chopped bell peppers, diced tomatoes, diced chilis and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook until vegetables are cooked to taste, adding broth if necessary. Add rinsed beans and corn if using. Add additional taco seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with tortilla chips, brown rice, noodles, salad or all on its own!
We like to eat ours with tortilla chips or brown rice, greek yogurt, and cheddar cheese. My kids love the beans and corn in it but I usually serve those separate so I can just have the main dish.
Hope you enjoy as much as we do!
