A twist on beef tacos! Combine this delicious ground beef taco mix with shell pasta for a different weeknight meal. Feel free to add or substitute the ingredients as I always recommend being flexible when cooking.
Cook pasta el dente, drain excess water and set aside.
Beef Taco Mix
In a large pan (preferably a cast iron pan), cook ground beef on med/high heat. Add onions and garlic once the meat is no longer pink.
Stir in spices with a wooden spoon. Mix in peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes and continue to stir for a 2-3 min. Add tomato sauce and allow to simmer for 7-8 min, stirring occasionally.
Mix in black beans and cooked pasta. Cover with cheese and broil in the oven for 3-5 min until cheese is fully melted. (If you don't have a cast iron pan, transfer food from pan to an oven proof dish).
