Taco Spaghetti

Taco spaghetti is a fusion dish that combines elements of Mexican and Italian cuisines. Here’s a simple recipe to make taco spaghetti:

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces spaghetti noodles
• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
• Sour cream (optional)
• Sliced black olives (optional)
• Chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
3. Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce to the cooked meat. Stir well to combine.
4. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Add the cooked spaghetti noodles to the skillet with the taco meat mixture. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the taco spaghetti. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the taco spaghetti hot, garnished with chopped green onions, sour cream, sliced black olives, and chopped cilantro if desired.
