Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)

4 cups beef or vegetable broth

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup cream cheese, cubed

1 cup tortilla strips (plus extra for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado, diced (for garnish)

Squeeze of lime juice (optional)

Instructions
 

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until browned. Drain any excess fat and add the meat to the crockpot.

    To the crockpot, add the black beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with juices), onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.

      Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the flavors meld and the vegetables are tender.

        About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Allow them to melt and combine well into the soup.

          Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a bit of salt, pepper, or extra taco seasoning, if desired.

            Before serving, stir in the tortilla strips, allowing them to soak up some of the soup while still providing some crunch.

              Serve the soup in bowls topped with more tortilla strips, diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
