Instructions

    Step 1
    Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and capsicum, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft and light golden. Add beef, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until well browned.
    Step 2
    Add the seasoning, stock and 250ml (1 cup) water. Stir until combined. Add the tomatoes, beans and corn. Bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered with a lid, for 10 minutes.
    Step 3
    Meanwhile, add vegetable oil to a frying pan to come about 1.5cm up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat. Cook the tortillas, 1 at a time, for 1 minute each side or until golden. Transfer to paper towel to drain and cool slightly. Cut into wedges.
    Step 4
    Ladle the soup among serving bowls. Top with avocado, cheddar, sour cream, paprika, tortilla wedges and jalapeño, if using.
