Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tsp Olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 1.25 lb Lean ground beef
  • 1.5 cups Yellow onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 Jalapeno (seeded and finely chopped, optional)
  • 2 cans Diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1 can Low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 can Tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 0.75 tsp Paprika
  • 0.25 tsp Oregano (dried)
  • 1.5 tbsp Dry ranch dressing mix (or substitute fresh cilantro and lime juice)
  • 0.33 cup Chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice (optional)
  • 1.5 cups Frozen corn
  • 2 cans Black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 cans Pinto beans (drained and rinsed)
  • Shredded Mexican blend cheese (for topping)
  • Chopped green or red onions (for topping)
  • Diced avocados (for topping)
  • Corn tortilla chips or strips (for crunch topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in your pressure cooker on the sauté setting. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the lean ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the jalapeno (if using), diced tomatoes with green chiles, beef broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Mix everything together until well combined.
  4. Fold in the frozen corn, black beans, and pinto beans. Make sure everything is well-mixed.
  5. Seal the lid on the pressure cooker and cook on high for 10 minutes. Once finished, allow for a natural release for about 5 minutes before using the quick release method to open the lid.
  6. Give your soup a good stir. If using, mix in the dry ranch dressing or your fresh cilantro and lime juice at this stage.

Notes

Let the soup sit for a few hours before serving to deepen the flavors. Can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a different protein.
