Cheesy Taco Tortellini
A delightful fusion of cheesy goodness and taco flavors, Cheesy Taco Tortellini is a comforting dish that can be prepared in just about 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 24 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
- 2 packets taco seasoning
- 1.75 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 16 ounces queso dip
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until no longer pink and lightly browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
- Drain any excess fat if needed. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, stirring well to ensure all the meat is coated.
- Pour in the beef broth, followed by the cheese tortellini. Mix well to submerge the pasta evenly.
- Bring the mixture to a steady simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender and plump. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Lower the heat and gently fold in the sour cream and queso dip. Stir until the sauce is smooth and all ingredients are well integrated.
- Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute ground turkey for the beef or use whole wheat tortellini. This dish can be garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions, served with tortilla chips, or paired with a simple green salad.
