Creating Taco Pasta is simple and quick. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook Meat: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

3. Add Vegetables: Once the meat is cooked through, add the diced bell peppers and corn to the skillet. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until they soften.

4. Season: Stir in the taco seasoning, followed by the black beans and salsa. Mix well, allowing the ingredients to combine and heat through.

5. Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir until the pasta is fully coated with the taco mixture.

6. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pasta and cover the skillet for a few minutes. Allow the cheese to melt.

7. Sour Cream: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream, creating a creamy texture throughout the dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.

9. Serve Hot: Enjoy your Taco Pasta while it’s warm, straight from the skillet.
