Not only is this one pot taco pasta easy but it is also delicious. The pasta is so filling and the skillet has the best flavor.
Don’t you just love one pot meals? We sure do! There is less dishes to clean up and everything can be cooked quickly.
It’s a great way to have Mexican without any of the work!
This meal is so tasty all by itself. However, sometimes I add a simple side salad. I have even just cut up veggies such as cucumbers and carrots and served a few raw veggies on the side.
If you have a few extra minutes, try this Quick Salsa Verde De Tomatillo Recipe. I like to put out a bowl of this salsa verde and a basket of tortilla chips. The kids love having this while they wait for dinner.

Everything you love about tacos is in this delicious taco pasta skillet. It’s cheesy and delicious. The tomatoes, cheese, ground beef and more come together for an amazing meal.
Top this yummy meal with whatever you normally top your favorite taco with! Some of our favorite toppings include: sour cream, cheese, green onion, salsa, diced tomatoes and more!
Make this dish your own. Top with whatever you like!
I like to set out different bowls of toppings. Everyone can choose what they like and it’s so easy.
One pot cheesy taco pasta is budget friendly!
This meal is not only delicious and simple but very easy on the budget. The pasta really stretches the meat and makes the meal go a long ways.
You could even add more pasta to stretch this meal even further. If you have unexpected dinner guests or your kids have friend’s over, try that trick!
I bet you could even substitute rice for the pasta! So many options.
Tips for making Taco pasta shells:
I use a small food chopper or processor to quickly and easily chop the onion and green pepper. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take diced onion or bell peppers out of the freezer for recipes.
Learn how to freeze peppers and how to freeze onions and you will save so much time in the kitchen!
We also make our own homemade taco seasoning. I like to keep a big batch of it and it’s ready when I need it.
