One-Pan Taco Pasta

One-Pan Taco Pasta

This one-pan taco pasta has been a lifesaver for me on busy nights or nights when I just don’t have the energy to cook. This meal is so simple, incredibly delicious and perfect for the whole family. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t love both tacos AND pasta, so why not make a meal using both? This meal is perfect if your looking for a meal that can be prepared for the whole family in under 30 minutes.

What pan to use?

This one-pan recipe is great not only because it’s fast and delicious, but because it only uses one pan! While any large pan can work for this recipe, you want to make sure that it’s large enough to fit all of the items and not overflow. To cook this meal, I used the Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Skillet. I love this cast iron for its durability, and 2 quart capacity, making it perfect for one-pan meals.
