Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:19 Measure out spices and whisk together. Set aside.
01:05 In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat.
01:21 Once oil is shimmering, add onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
01:40 Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
02:03 Add beef and cook, crumbling, until mostly browned. If needed, drain excess grease from the pot.
02:43 Sprinkle the spice blend over the meat and add tomato paste. Stir until the spices are well incorporated/absorbed and the tomato paste is deepened in color (about 60 seconds).
04:39 Add all remaining ingredients (tomatoes, beans, corn, chiles, and beef broth) and stir well.
05:57 Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes before serving with favorite toppings (we like crushed corn chips, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, etc.)

Meat
