Change up Taco Tuesday with this easy and delicous recipe for Taco Pasta. Less than 30 minutes from start to eating. My kind of weeknight meal. Also makes really good leftovers too.
Basic ground beef for the base of this recipe then you just layer on the flavor. Onion, Taco Seasoning, salsa and cheese all over pasta. I am always looking for new ways to use ground beef becaue we get into a rut of cooking the same things. This Taco Pasta Recipe is a nice change but also extremely easy.
Make Your own Taco Seasoning
I make my own taco seasoning which is really easy and you can find the recipe here. I make a big batch and then keep it in a mason jar in our cupboard. You can also use a good old packet of premade taco seasoning you buy at the store. I love those.
Cheese, Lots of Cheese...
I used shredded cheddar cheese for this Taco Pasta Recipe but I think you could use a Jack Cheese or a Mexican Blend Cheese as well. Whatever is your favorite, then use that. Life is to short not to have your favorite cheese.
Check out the easy recipe below and make it for your next Taco Tuesday!
