Taco Pasta Salad Recipe

Recently I've been obsessed with Pinterest. I absolutely love getting inspired. I found this amazing taco pasta salad recipe & put it to life in my kitchen! If you are passionate about mexican food then you have to try this! Below is the recipe. I altered it a little to fit with what I like but you can add or subtract whatever you like to make it your own. Hope you enjoy! Happy cooking!!!! :)

You will need: 1lb of ground beef or turkey. 2-3 cups of pasta of your liking. 1 cup of chopped tomatoes. 1 package of taco seasoning. 1 cup of Mexican style 3 cheese shredded cheese. Garlic power. Chilli powder. Taco chips. Water. Salsa

What to do: Start off boiling your pasta. While that's softening, brown your ground beef (turkey) on a skillet until no more pink is showing. When your pasta is soft, drain and put to the side. When your meat is done, drain the fat & return to skillet. Add: 1/2 cup of water and taco seasoning and let that come to a boil. When the water starts to evaporate add & mix in a sprinkle of garlic powder and chili powder & continue to mix until most of the water has evaporated. (The end result to the meat should be moist but not wet). When meat is done, combine in a bowl pasta & meat and top it with tomatoes & cheese. Then pour a good amount of salsa as your sauce & mixes it all together. You can even pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds just to get your cheese to met a little. And don't forget the taco chips on the side!

The picture above has more ingredients like olives and peppers that you can add for your own liking. I'm personally not a fan of the two so I left them out! I hope you enjoy this easy recipe!!! Let me know in your comments below!!!
