Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 pound ground beef you can use whatever ground meat you like best but usually when making tacos, it is beef or chicken 🙂
• 1.25 ounce packet of taco seasoning I will sometimes use TWO packets
• 3/4 cup water from the tap or filtered if you are feeling fancy
• 16 oz garden rotini noodles any brand but I use the CHEAPEST because I am not rich!
• 1 cup French dressing cheapest bottle I could find
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved or you can use a large tomato and chop that baby up
• 15 oz canned black beans or really whatever beans you enjoy eating up
• 6 oz can of black olives slice them up real good
• 8 oz fiesta cheese, shredded I love cheese
• Cilantro, chopped this is optional but you really should use it
• 2 cups Doritos, crushed crush these babies up

Equipment

• 1 sharp knife for chopping up the damn stuff
• 1 cutting board of your preference for putting food on to chop up
• 1 medium skillet for cooking that meat up real nicely!
• 1 spatula for mixing that food as you cook it!
• 1 large spoon for spooning of course!
• 1 strainer to strain out that gross meat grease (unless you like it?)
• 1 large bowl to mix stuff in
• 1 large pot for cooking pasta in, right?

Method

 

1. Add the ground beef to a medium skillet and cook over medium heat until browned. Drain the grease. Add the taco seasoning, and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
   
2. Fill a large pot halfway with water, and bring to a boil. Add the noodles, and cook until al dente. Drain the water, and run cold water over the noodles until they are cooled.
   
3. Add the noodles and dressing to a large bowl and toss to coat.
4. Add the cooked meat, tomatoes, black beans, olives, cheese, cilantro, and crushed Doritos. Gently toss to combine.
   
5. Serve and enjoy!
