One Skillet Beef Taco Pasta

Method

  1. 1

    In a large skillet heat the 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, or until the onion is soft.

  2. 2

    Add the ground beef and continue to cook, breaking up the ground beef with a large spoon, until the beef is browned.

  3. 3

    Add the taco seasoning, salsa, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, beef broth and pasta.

  4. 4

    Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat down to low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the lid and add the cheese stirring to combine everything.

  5. 5

    Remove the skillet from the heat and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve the pasta in a bowl with your favorite garnishes. I like to add fresh tomatoes, cilantro, red onion and sour cream.

Notes

Feel free to use regular diced tomatoes instead of the fire roasted tomatoes. When it comes to the pasta you can use whatever you want but I think the small to medium pastas work best. I like to use sharp cheddar cheese but you can also use a mixture of your favorite--pepper jack adds a little spice.
