20 Minute Taco Pasta Recipe

How to Make 20 Minute Taco Pasta

• STEP 1.In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned, ensuring it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

• STEP 1.Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to toast slightly. Next, add the diced tomatoes with green chilies and beef broth. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

• STEP 2.Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.

• STEP 3.Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. This will make the dish creamy and cheesy. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the pasta is coated in a rich, flavorful sauce.

• STEP 4.Taste the pasta and season with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. You can also top it with extra cheese, sour cream, or even a bit of salsa for added flavor.
