Cooking
  1. Add ground beef to the crockpot and sprinkle taco seasoning over it.

  4. If using, stir in corn or beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

For a healthier option, lean ground turkey or chicken can replace ground beef. Customize toppings based on preference; add avocado or different cheese types. For extra heat, toss in jalapeños.
