• 2 or more cups cooked meat of your choice: You could use leftover pulled pork, 1 # hamburger that is already browned, or I usually use 1-2# shredded or chopped chicken the day after we have baked chicken for dinner. Just pick the extra meat off the bone and set aside, and don't forget to cook the bones all day for the broth! (Or use this shelf-stable super good-for-you broth that's already made!) Pasture raised chicken is best. Click here if you don't have a good local source for healthy pastured meats.
• 1 can drained organic black beans or 1-2 cans Great Northern beans (don't drain those), I love the beans at that link, they're already soaked for you!
• 1 cup fresh or frozen organic sweet corn, if you're not watching your carbs
• 4 cups of your favorite organic salsa OR if you don't have salsa on-hand, add approximately 2 cups organic fresh or canned tomatoes, chopped organic veggies of choice like 1 onion, 1 stalk celery, 1-2 peppers, 1-2 jalepenos, 2-3 cloves minced garlic, and a handful of parsley and/or cilantro. Here's my homemade salsa recipe – this can be made ahead or I do buy it at the store sometimes.
• 4-6 cups Homemade chicken broth. I now know how quick and simple pressure cooker broth is so I can make some mineral-rich broth more quickly in a pinch. Again, if you just don't think you will make it or want some on hand for when you're really crunched for time, try this bone broth — it's 100% grass-fed with a bunch of gelatin, organic ingredients, and it's shelf stable! I love keeping their beef and chicken broth on-hand for quick recipes because they make it just like I do here, and without the nasty msg ingredients, additives, or preservatives that store-bought has.
• If you have leftover rice, you could throw that in, too.
• 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning-- here's my recipe but you could just throw the same seasonings in separately if you don't have it already mixed together: 1 Tablespoon or more of ground cumin depending on how spicy your salsa was, 2 teaspoons ground paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning), 1 Tablespoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.
• Sea salt and pepper to your taste
• Sometimes I'll saute some onion, celery, garlic, and/or bell peppers in butter and add that in too (optional)

For the top:

• 1-2 cups Shredded cheese – Monterey Jack, cheddar, or whatever you like
• Sour cream and/or cream cheese
• Tortilla chips are optional-I buy organic to avoid GMO ingredients and other nasties!
• 2 limes, organic if you can find them
