I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but would like to. If you happen to try it, let me know what you think.

Taco-Pasta Salad

Servings: 2
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
2 portions rotini pasta (about 4 oz uncooked)
2 portions lean ground beef (about 1/2 lb)
3/4 cup water
1 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 Tbsp salsa
2 Tbsp fat-free sour cream
2 Tbsp reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:
1   Prepare rotini pasta according to its package directions.

2   While the pasta is cooking, brown ground beef in a medium skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain the beef of any excess fat and return it to the skillet.

3   Add water, taco seasoning and bell pepper to cooked ground beef; simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.

4   While the beef is simmering, combine salsa and sour cream in a small bowl.

5   Place a portion of pasta on two separate plates. Top with a portion of ground beef mixture. Sprinkle each with half of the cheese and a dollop of salsa-sour cream sauce. Serve and enjoy!
