How To Make taco pasta

  • Step 1
    In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Halfway through the browning process, add the onion. Cook until the beef is brown and the onions are soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Drain any excess grease.
  • Step 2
    Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, green chiles, taco seasoning, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pasta is tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Step 3
    Turn the heat off and stir in the cheese until melted. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro. For best results, serve promptly.
