Helpful Tips
To make this recipe even more beginner-friendly, you can use pre-chopped onions and minced garlic found at the grocery store. For a spicier kick, add a diced jalapeño when sautéing the onions and garlic.
For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with a plant-based ground meat alternative or extra black beans.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water if needed to adjust the consistency.
Pairings
This Taco Cheeseburger Soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad and chunks of crusty bread for dipping. For drinks, a chilled glass of Mexican lager or a refreshing margarita would complement the flavors perfectly.
