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.
