Your favorite taco toppings (diced tomatoes, onion, tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, etc.)
Instructions
In a Dutch oven or a stockpot, brown ground beef with onion and garlic until no pink remains. If necessary, drain excess grease from beef. Sprinkle chili powder, salt, paprika, cumin, garlic and onion powder, and cayenne over beef mixture. Stir to combine. Add beans, hominy, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and water to spiced beef. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a boil. Let cook for approximately 15-20 minutes before serving. Taco soup can be cooked longer to let flavors meld. Serve as is, with a side of cornbread, or garnish with your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
*Adjust to your heat preferences, or substitute with ground ancho or chipotle powder.
