A hearty and comforting Taco Pasta dish that combines the flavors of tacos with pasta for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces of pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Make sure to salt the water generously to enhance flavor. Once done, drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks. Allow it to brown nicely, draining any excess fat afterward for a leaner dish.
  3. Sauté the Veggies: Now, toss in the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the browned meat. Sauté everything together until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, soaking up all the meaty goodness.
  4. Add Flavor with Seasoning: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture and stir well to coat. Next, pour in the diced tomatoes (green chilies included), corn, and black beans. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Combine the Pasta and Meat Mixture: Once your sauce is aromatic, it’s time to combine! Gently fold the cooked pasta into the skillet with the meat mixture, ensuring every piece of pasta is coated in that zesty medley.
  6. Melt in the Cheese: Stir in half of the shredded cheese, watching it melt into the warm pasta, creating a creamy texture that holds everything together.
  7. Serve with Love: Dish up the Taco Pasta hot, garnishing each bowl with the remaining cheese and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for that final touch. Serve it with a big smile!
