Description

This Taco Tortellini Skillet combines the flavors of Mexican cuisine with cheesy tortellini for a delicious one-skillet meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Tortellini:

  • 1216 oz tortellini

Ground Beef:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream for garnish
  • Green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Tortellini: Cook the tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large oven-safe skillet, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Season and Simmer: Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef, then add beef broth and enchilada sauce. Stir to combine. Add beans, corn, and tortellini. Simmer until heated through.
  4. Add Cheese and Broil: Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mixture. Broil in the oven until cheese melts.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with sour cream, green onions, and cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • We recommend using plain or spinach-stuffed tortellini for this recipe. Fresh or frozen tortellini is preferred over dried.
  • If you prefer, kidney or pinto beans can be used instead of black beans.
  • Green enchilada sauce can be a flavorful alternative to red sauce for a different twist.
