Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef I used 90%, lean
- taco seasoning I used reduced sodium, medium heat
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste
- 8 ounces pasta I used wagon wheels; bowtie, rotini, penne, small shells, etc. are ok, dry uncooked
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 ½ cups corn frozen
- diced tomatoes do not drain, I used no salt added, petite, canned, 15-ounce can
- black beans drained and rinsed (I used no salt added, canned
- 2 cups Mexican shredded cheese blend
- ½ cup sour cream optional
- 2 green onion trimmed and sliced into thin rounds, or 3 green onions
- salt optional and to taste
- black pepper optional and to taste
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the oil, beef, and cook over medium-high heat, crumbling and stirring frequently as it cooks. I don’t find the need to drain it; and the extra bit of fat will prevent the pasta from sticking later.
- Add the taco seasoning, cumin, optional cayenne (I don’t think it makes it hot, rather it gives it flavor), and stir to combine.
- Add the dry pasta, water, corn, tomatoes, beans, and stir to combine.
- Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and pasta is cooked through.
- Evenly sprinkle the cheese and stir to combine.
- Optionally add the sour cream and stir to combine.
- Evenly sprinkle the green onions, taste to check for seasoning balance, and if desired add salt and pepper (I used no salt added canned goods and needed to add a bit of salt and pepper), and serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Adapted from One Skillet Beef Taco Pasta.
