My fiesta chili recipe with corn and black beans is easy to make and gets rave reviews from the fellas. It can be thrown into the slow cooker all day so it’s ready when you are! It has a hint of Southwest flavor. Therefore, toppings are a must!

I love to add shredded cheddar, sour cream, cilantro, and avocado. Top with Fritos corn chips for some crunch and it’s a fiesta in your mouth. Why not wash it down with a sparkling peach margarita?

Add this fiesta chili to a soup bar party too!

Although this recipe has typical Southwestern ingredients, it’s not spicy. If you want to add some heat just add a diced jalapeno to the slow cooker along with the other ingredients. Or you can simply add sliced or pickled jalapeno to your individual bowl along with the other toppings.
