Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 cups chicken broth or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chunky tomato salsa
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • Shredded cheese tortilla chips, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Press sauté.
  • When the pot reads "hot", add the ground beef.
  • Cook, stirring regularly, until no longer pink. Drain any extra grease and return the ground beef to the inner pot.
  • Add the broth, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Layer the taco seasoning, garlic, black pepper, black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, and salsa. Do not stir.
  • Close and lock the lid. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to "sealing".
  • Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 5 minutes.
  • When the cooking time has finished, do a controlled quick release.
  • Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Stir in the frozen corn.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Ground beef: Ground turkey can also be used in this recipe. If using ground turkey, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot before adding the turkey.
  • Taco seasoning: You can use store-bought or make homemade taco seasoning.
  • Beans: Feel free to use any combination of beans that you like. Pinto beans also work well in this recipe.
  • Salsa: For spicier soup, use medium or hot soup. For milder soup, use mild salsa.
