On the other hand, ground chicken, ground pork, and ground turkey work well too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cook the minced garlic in butter. It adds a delicious flavor. If you only have oil, we love olive oil and avocado oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When choosing taco seasoning, look for one without any added sugar. The Siete brand is great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Rotel tomatoes and green chilies add a spicy flavor! Feel free to replace this with your favorite salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Chicken broth and whole milk add the creaminess. Half and half works well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We used whole wheat pasta shells for this recipe. If you are gluten free, feel free to use gluten free pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Shredded cheese makes the sauce super creamy! Use Mexican shredded cheese, cheddar cheese, or mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lastly, top with fresh herbs if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Ingredients for taco pasta.\" class=\"wp-image-218771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-scaled.jpeg 1707w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-267x400.jpeg 267w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-800x1200.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-1200x1800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-1067x1600.jpeg 1067w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-720x1080.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-360x540.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-180x270.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_21-45-25_880-2025-08-10T04_08_11.911-150x225.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-delicious-taste-and-texture-of-creamy-taco-pasta\">The Delicious Taste and Texture of Creamy Taco Pasta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This taco pasta has a great balance of flavors and textures.

This will ensure your taco pasta holds its shape and doesn't become mushy as the sauce thickens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Adjusting the Spice:<\/strong> For a milder flavor, use a mild salsa or Rotel and a mild taco seasoning blend. For more heat, choose a spicy variety or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>The Right Milk Matters:<\/strong> Whole milk or half-and-half are recommended for the best results. The fat content helps create a thicker, richer sauce. Skim milk is too thin and will not provide the same creamy texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ground Meat Options:<\/strong> While ground beef is a classic choice, feel free to use ground turkey, chicken, or pork as a leaner alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creative-ways-to-customize\">Creative Ways to Customize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This recipe is incredibly versatile. Here are some ideas to make it your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cheesy Goodness:<\/strong> Experiment with different types of cheese. A Mexican cheese blend, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack would all be delicious in this creamy taco pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Veggies:<\/strong> Stir in some black beans, corn, bell peppers, or diced onions along with the taco seasoning for added nutrients and flavor in your taco pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Toppings:<\/strong> Top your finished one-pot taco pasta with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Cheesy beef with pasta.\" class=\"wp-image-218778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-scaled.jpeg 1707w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-267x400.jpeg 267w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-800x1200.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-1200x1800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-1067x1600.jpeg 1067w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-720x1080.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-360x540.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-180x270.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.100daysofrealfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2025-08-09_22-28-07_030-2025-08-10T04_08_11.901-150x225.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-serving-and-storing\">Serving and Storing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Serve your taco pasta hot and fresh, directly from the skillet.
