Description

This Cheesy Enchilada Chili blends the bold flavors of enchiladas with the hearty comfort of chili. It’s a rich, creamy dish featuring ground beef, beans, corn, and a medley of cheeses, all simmered to perfection.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 (15 oz) jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of potato soup
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 can fire-roasted diced green chiles
  • 23 cups frozen corn
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, letting it simmer for about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add the Salsa Con Queso, cream of potato soup, sour cream, beef broth, chicken broth, diced green chiles, frozen corn, and black beans to the pot.
  4. Stir all the ingredients until well combined and let the chili simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Make it vegetarian by replacing meat with extra beans.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicier chili.
  • Mix in cooked rice or quinoa for added texture.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
