Preheat a pot or dutch oven to medium-high heat with olive oil or avocado oil.
Add the diced onion and sauté for several minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Incorporate the diced jalapeno and sauté for a minute.
Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Break it up as it cooks.
Add the salt and 1/2 of the pack of taco seasoning (or 2 Tbsp of homemade) and stir to combine.
Then add the beans, crushed tomatoes, the remaining taco seasoning, the salsa, and 1 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro. Stir well.
Incorporate the chicken broth to reach desired texture.
Taste test and add salt as needed. If you used a taco seasoning without any added salt (such as my homemade version), then you will want to add more salt – probably about 1 tsp or to your personal preference. However, if using the Siete pack or the taco seasoning you use has a lot of salt, then you may not need to add any.
Right before serving, stir in 1/2 cup sour cream if desired. Remove from heat before adding the sour cream.
