Ingredients
- 1 pound lean or extra-lean ground beef
- 1 ounce package taco seasoning (I used medium heat)
- 2 cups water
- 1 ½ cups uncooked pasta (I used rotini; bowtie, small shells, elbow macaroni, etc. may be substituted)
- 15 ounces canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes (do not drain, use regular diced tomatoes if you prefer less spiciness)
- 15 ounces canned red kidney beans drained and rinsed (black beans may be substituted)
- 1 ½ cups frozen corn (canned corn may be substituted)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- ½ cup sour cream (I used light)
- â…“ cup green onions sliced into thin rounds for garnishing (cilantro may be substituted)
- 1 Hass avocado peeled and cubed for garnishing, optional
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until beef is cooked though. Crumble and toss intermittently as it cooks to ensure even cooking. Drain liquid if desired or necessary (it wasn’t necessary for me).
- Evenly sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and add the water, pasta, tomatoes (do not drain), kidney beans, and frozen corn.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and allow mixture to simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, or until pasta has absorbed most of the liquid and is done.
- Turn off the heat, add the sour cream, and stir to combine.
- Add the cheese and cover momentarily to allow cheese to melt.
- Evenly sprinkle with green onions and optional avocado before serving.
