  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large red onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 can pinto beans drained
  • 1 can black beans drained
  • 1 can whole sweet corn kernels drained
  • 1 can whole tomatoes
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 32 ounces beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground Mexican chili powder
  • add salt and ground black peppercorns to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream

  • Serve with corn tortilla chips and slices of fresh limes

Instructions

  • Adjust the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and add a tablespoon of canola oil. When the oil is hot, saute chopped onions for about five minutes until they're translucent, then remove them with a slotted spoon into a bowl and set aside. 
  • Add the last tablespoon of canola oil and maintain the Saute setting. Brown the ground beef, add the taco seasoning, cumin, Mexican-style chili powder, salt, and freshly cracked black peppercorns to taste, and mix well. 
  • When the ground beef is cooked through and browned, strain off all of the excess dripping.
  • Into the Instant Pot, add the pinto beans, black beans, sweet corn kernels, whole tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and one-quarter (1/4) cup chopped cilantro.
  • Stir the ingredients until thoroughly combined. 
  • Fold in the sour cream and continue to mix until the sour cream is fully incorporated.  
  • Place the lid of the Instant Pot, and lock it into place. Select the Bean/Chili setting and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Vent the Instant Pot and remove the lid.
  • Ladle the soup into serving bowls and top with green onion, cilantro, and Mexican cheeses. 
  • Serve with corn tortilla chips.
