Starr's Not-So-Chicken Tortilla Soup

I'm currently eating the leftovers of this on my lunch-break:

• 2 large cans diced tomatoes (drain one can)
• 2 cans corn (drained)
• 2 cans black beans (drained)
• 1 can green chiles (with juice)
• 1/2 to 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped (can use green onion also/instead)
• chopped peppers to taste (optional)
• 1 lb pre-cooked sausage OR 1-2 lbs. frozen/fresh chicken breasts

season with:

• garlic pepper (liberal)
• chili powder (2-3 dashes)
• lime pepper (3 dashes)
• taco seasoning (slightly less than garlic pepper)
• (mix together; total amount should equal about 3-4 tbsp)

Place ingredients in crockpot and cook for 4-8 hours (on high if using chicken).
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or plain yogurt.
Eat with tortilla chips or rolls.
