The perfect chili fusion with a Mexican flair! This Taco Chili has received rave reviews from my friends and family.
Today is National Chili Day! Who is ready to celebrate with me? I have a yummy Taco Chili perfect for this special occasion.
Chili was one of our dinner staples growing up. My used to make a big batch of chili every few weeks. Her recipe was more of a traditional chili recipe. It had ground beef, tomatoes, kidney beans, onions, green peppers and chili powder. I like to add twists to my recipes so I created this mouthwatering Taco Chili. The feedback I’ve received so far about it has been favourable.
Taco Chili
It’s made with ground beef, onions, black beans, corn, tomatoes, taco sauce, chili powder and taco seasoning. It’s chili with a Mexican flair!
Dress it up with shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions and some corn chips for dunking. It tastes like tacos with a hint of chili flavour fusion.
I gave a storage container of chili to my friend, Becky, to bring home. This recipe makes a huge batch and it was more than Bridget and I could eat ourselves. Plus, I like to share what I make with friends and family.
I got a call last night from Becky’s boyfriend. He wanted me to tell you that it was the best chili he’s ever tried. That made me feel great! I knew it was a good recipe, but didn’t realize it was that good. Give it a try and let me know what you think, too!

William M Pierson says
If I’m not mistaken, chili and tacos are both originally Mexican. So saying chili with a Mexican flair is kind of redundant
Geneva says
Can’t wait to try this recipe but I have a big family so need to double the ingredients
Chelsea Butts says
How would this be done in a crock pot?
Stacie Vaughan says
I would cook the ground beef and onions first. Then add the ingredients to the crockpot. Cook for 6 to 8 hours on low heat.
