A fun and tasty way to enjoy the flavors of tacos in a comforting pasta dish that’s packed with protein.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz elbow macaroni
  • 1 lb ground turkey or beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground turkey or beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, and elbow macaroni to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Stir in the black beans, corn, and Greek yogurt until well combined.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
  6. Serve hot, garnishing with chopped cilantro.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or onions when browning the meat. This dish can also be made vegetarian by omitting the meat and adding more beans.
