  • 1 100 g onion, chopped

  • 1/2 tsp pepper approx. 1 g

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente, then drain it.
  2. In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until they are cooked through.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes to the skillet, mixing well.
  4. Lower the heat and pour in the milk and cubed Velveeta cheese.

  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix well until combined.

Serve hot and consider adding toppings like cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro. Pairs well with tortilla chips or a green salad. For leftovers, let cool before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on low, adding a splash of milk as needed.
