Taco Gnocchi Skillet
Report
This Taco Gnocchi Skillet has it all going on in one pan; taco-seasoned protein of choice, plenty of vegetables, pillowy bites of gnocchi, melty cheese, and crushed tortilla chips. This dish is flavorful with fun textures in every bite.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef pork, chicken, or turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil (if using a lean protein)
- 1 pound pre-made gnocchi
- 1 ounce can ROTEL
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 medium white or yellow onion finely diced
- 1 green bell pepper finely diced
- 1 .5 ounce can sweet corn
- 4 tablespoons chipotle en adobo pepper sauce (optional, adds heat and smokiness)
- 1 cup Oaxaca or Monterey jack cheese shredded
- Crushed tortillas chips or tortilla strips (be generous!)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat (if using a lean protein like ground chicken or turkey). Add ground meat and taco seasoning and cook for 5-7 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces.
- Meanwhile, prepare gnocchi according to package directions. Strain and set aside until needed.
- Strain excess grease. It’s okay to leave just a little bit of grease behind for the next step.
- Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the can of Rotel, can of corn, and chipotle en adobo pepper sauce to the pan.
- Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, uncovered. The liquid will reduce down a bit.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add cooked gnocchi. Continue cooking another 2 minutes, gently stirring the gnocchi into the mix.
- Remove the pan from heat. Top with shredded cheese and cover with a lid until the cheese melts. For the finale, top with crushed tortilla chips or tortilla strips and dig in!

Notes
- *Nutrition information is approximate and was calculated using an online nutrition calculator.
- Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions and remember, you will mix in the gnocchi at the end for an additional 2 minutes cooking time.
- Don't forget to strain that grease off if you're using a fattier meat, like ground beef. I always strain with a fine mesh sieve, then spread over paper towels to ensure all the excess grease is absorbed.
- Garnish away! I love the crunchy contrast of tortilla strips, but you can also garnish with sliced black olives, avocado, sour cream, or parsley or cilantro.
