Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pkg taco seasoning
1 c pace picante sauce
2 can(s) pinto beans with jalapenos, drained (plain pinto beans or kidney beans will also work)
1 or 2 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
1 or 2 can(s) whole tomatoes with juice, crushed with your fingers
some water
1 lb hamburger
TOPPINGS OPTIONS:
sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
tortilla chips or strips
fresh lime juice

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients, EXCEPT water & hamburger, into a large pot over MEDIUM heat. Stir to mix and add enough water to cover. Stir occasionally until the soup starts to boil.
2. Once the soup starts boiling, drop small clumps of hamburger into the soup mixture. Let it cook for a few minutes before stirring, so the hamburger clumps stick together. Gently stir occasionally.
3. Once the hamburger is cooked, decide how thick you like your soup. If needed, add a little more water if you like a thinner soup. Cook for about 15 minutes so that all the flavors blend together and the soup becomes the desired consistency.
4. Serve hot with sour cream, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
