A good hearty meal with a new spin on it! Try your taco night in chili form this week with this filling Taco Chili topped with your favorite taco toppings.
Bringing together two of my all-time favorite dishes into one this week! I've always loved chili and if you been reading my blog for some time then you know how I feel about anything taco flavored! This Taco Chili was the best of both worlds. Most the time my husband isn't a fan of my chili recipes I make. I grew up outside Cincinnati and we have a pretty unique flavor for chili there. It's usually thinner then your average chili and doesn't have beans or anything else. This chili was really different full of beans, tomatoes, corn, onions, peppers, and with a bold taco flavor. He absolutely loved it, more of the chili he grew up on for sure.
Taco Recipes:
If you want to give it a try I shared my recipe for Cincinnati Chili and in this home town, girls option it's pretty darn close to the real stuff! For this Taco Chili, I started with the ground beef and cooked and crumbled it in a large soup pot. No sense cleaning up a pot it will cook just fine in the one you will make the chili in. Once cooked just drain the fat and toss everything else in. Pretty simple. It only takes about 30-40 minute to shimmer after you brought it to a boil and then ta-da! Taco Chili is ready for dinner. We topped ours with sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and tortilla chips!
How to make Taco Chili:
Step one: In a large soup pot cook and crumble ground beef.
Step Two: Add remaining ingredients and stir until mixed well together. Bring your chili to a boil then simmer on low for 30-40 minutes.

Super easy. I made this tonight, tastes so good.
Hi!!! What can I do to make this in a crock pot????
Yes, you can! Cook and crumble the beef then add it to the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients.
Loved it! Quick question, how much is considered a serving? I’m counting calories 🙂
About 2 cups
I plan on making this for dinner tomorrow but since it is called taco chili why is there no taco seasoning in the recipe? well I plan on using a pack of taco seasoning in mine I think it will add so much more flavor to the dish.
I add cumin to give it the taco flavor.
This looks fantastic! I have all the ingredients but the chili beans on hand, so this is supper tonight!
