Description

Discover Tales Of A Kitchen’s quick and delicious taco soup frios recipe that combines zesty Mexican flavors with crispy Fritos corn chips for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • Ground Beef: Adds richness and a hearty texture to the soup.
  • Onion & Garlic: Essential aromatics that build the soup’s flavor.
  • Bell Pepper: Provides a subtle sweetness and crunch.
  • Taco Seasoning: A mix of chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder for that classic taco flavor.
  • Tomatoes & Tomato Sauce: Bring a tangy base to the soup.
  • Beef Broth: Adds depth and makes the soup perfectly savory.
  • Kidney Beans: Boosts fiber and protein while making the dish filling.
  • Fritos Corn Chips: The star topping that adds crunch and a hint of saltiness.

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onions are translucent.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in taco seasoning, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables with spices.
  4. Combine Liquids and Beans: Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and drained kidney beans. Stir to combine.
  5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve with Fritos: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crushed Fritos corn chips. Add optional toppings like shredded cheese, diced avocado, or sour cream for extra flavor.

Notes

  • On the stovetop: Simply place the soup in a saucepan and heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until hot throughout.
  • In the microwave: Transfer the soup to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until heated through.
  • In the slow cooker: Add the soup to your slow cooker and heat on the low setting for 2-3 hours, or until piping hot.
