For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with 2 packages of plant-based crumbles or an equivalent weight of chopped vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix to suit your taste preferences. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat. The stew can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving. For a thicker stew, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot.
