Flavorful Taco Soup

• 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
• 1 can (8-3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
• 1-1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 4-1/2 teaspoons ranch salad dressing mix
• 1/2 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
• Tortilla chips

1. In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, corn, water, taco seasoning and salad dressing mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
2. Spoon into bowls; top with avocado, cheese and cilantro. Serve with chips.
