One Pot Black Bean Fajita Pasta

We used protein pasta, added some chicken, and extra broth.

Added 1 lb of ground beef & heavy cream at end just to give it more sauce, otherwise thought it was dry.

Added lean ground beef, cooked onions and peppers, then browned beef before adding the rest. I didn't have diced tomatoes, so I used the equivalent of salsa. It was tasty, picky kids ate it, so a win. We served it with guacamole and sour cream.

I added more pasta and also tomato puree and garlic.

I browned a pound of hamburger with the onion and a packet of taco seasoning, thus eliminating the chili powder, cumin and paprika. I also used 2 cans of diced tomatoes and added a cup of water so the pasta had enough moisture to cook thoroughly. Added a dollop of sour cream and guacamole on top before serving. It was very good and had enough leftover to take in my lunch the next day.

I'm kind of surprised. I'm not sure what I was expecting but this is really good! Plus, add the fact that it can be prepped ahead for an easy weeknight meal. This is a winner!

Pretty good. I cut back on the chili powder for the kids but would do the full amount next time.

Making this for my kids, too,vso I changed the pasta to veggie pasta. I couldn't tell a difference taste wise. We all loved it! My 14mo gobbled it up, but the almost 3yo didn't touch it (not that I really expected him to). No leftovers here!

I make this regularly because it's super quick and easy to make. I add daiya cheese shreds instead of the mozzarella

Threw everything in the pot, let it simmer and dinner was served! Good Flavor. Easy weeknight meal!
