Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 can (10-15 oz) green enchilada sauce or tomato sauce
  • 1 packet taco seasoning

Instructions

  • Combine the canned ingredients: Pour all the canned goods — black beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes (both kinds), and green enchilada sauce — into a large soup pot. Do not drain the diced tomatoes or enchilada sauce.
  • Add taco seasoning: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture and stir well.
  • Bring to a boil: Place the pot over medium-high heat and let the soup come to a gentle boil.
  • Simmer: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Adjust seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Use low-sodium canned goods to reduce sodium. For a vegetarian version, ensure the taco seasoning is meat-free. Green enchilada sauce can be substituted with tomato sauce for a milder flavor. Serve with optional toppings like avocado, cilantro, or lime.
