Southwest Cheesy Enchilada Chili Deluxe

A rich, creamy fusion of chili and cheesy enchilada flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground turkey (or beef)

  • 2 tbsps Taco seasoning

  • 1/4 cup Water

  • 1 jar Roasted poblano queso dip (or Salsa Con Queso)

  • 1 can Creamy potato soup

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

  • 1 can Fire-roasted diced green chilis

  • 1 1/4 cups Beef or chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup Smoky chipotle tomato sauce

  • 1 cup Frozen corn

  • 1 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)

  • 1/2 cup Diced red bell pepper

  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

  • To taste: Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Brown the Meat

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey (or beef) until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.

2. Season

Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the meat. Stir well and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the water has mostly evaporated and the meat is well-coated.

3. Build the Base

Turn the heat down to medium. Stir in the creamy potato soup, queso dip, and Greek yogurt. Mix until the base is smooth and creamy.

4. Add the Aromatics and Veggies

Stir in the green chilis, diced red bell pepper, corn, and black beans. Add the broth and chipotle tomato sauce to reach your desired chili consistency.

5. Season and Simmer

Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the chili simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the cheese base from sticking to the bottom.

6. Serve

Ladle into bowls and top with cilantro, shredded cheese, or tortilla chips for a nice crunch.

Helpful Tips

  • Consistency: If you prefer a thicker chili, let it simmer for an extra 10 minutes. If it’s too thick, add an extra splash of broth.

  • Heat Level: For more kick, add extra diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
