Taco Pasta
"What happens when Taco Tuesday meets pasta night, and somehow everyone wins."
The Game Plan
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
In the same pot (one pot = one hero), brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
-
Add the taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Stir and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Add the salsa and stir to combine. Let it bubble for another minute.
-
Add the cooked pasta back to the pot and toss everything together until the noodles are coated in beefy, taco-y goodness.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes to let it get melty and irresistible.
-
Serve straight from the pot (because you're feeding a crowd and presentation is a suggestion, not a rule). Top with sour cream and whatever else you've got.
