Taco Pasta Skillet

I just made this last night and I am very pleased with the results! Anything with taco meat is always promising! This was super quick to make. It takes two cups of taco meat. So... what you could do is have tacos one night, make some extra meat, reserve two cups and serve the rest. This a great idea to try if you have one day off and you work the next day. One day of prep, two meals!
  • 2 cups taco meat
  • 2 cups small dry pasta (elbow macaroni, mini farfelle, mini shells, broken spaghetti, etc)
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 2 Tablespoons milk or sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice (I used reduced-fat sharp cheddar)
Boil enough water to cook pasta. Cook pasta and drain. Meanwhile, heat salsa and meat in a skillet. Add drained pasta to skillet with meat and salsa. Add milk/sour cream and cheddar cheese. Stir and heat through.

You have a super speedy scrumptious dinner in the matter of 15 minutes!
