Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic.
Brown ground meat, breaking it apart, and drain excess fat.
Add bell peppers and cook 3-4 minutes.
Stir in beans, corn, tomatoes, broth, and taco seasoning. Mix well.
Simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, allowing flavors to blend.
