Instructions:
Optional Toppings:
Diced avocado, fresh chopped parsley/cilantro, sliced chilies, sliced jalapenos, dried red onions, shredded Mexican cheese blend, Greek yogurt, lime wedges, etc.
Heat oil in large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in ground meat and cook, stirring while crumbling, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain grease if it’s excessive. Stir in all spices, diced bell pepper, garlic, and onion; continue cooking until the meat has browned and the onion has softened.
Add in the beans, tomatoes, broth, and butternut squash. Cover with a lid and cook on LOW heat for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy! Alternatively you can cook your meat as described above, then combine all ingredients in your crockpot, and then cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
