How To Make taco tuna macaroni

Step 1Cook macaroni in boiling water for 8 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl( I used my mixer bowl) and squeeze 1/2 of a lemon over the pasta .Mix to coat. Heat oven to 350^.

Step 2Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix to blend. Do not drain the peas (or corn If you are using that-which I prefer) but use use what you have.Use the taco mix straight from the package.Don't add any salt as there is enough in all the other ingredients.
