This tastes just like a taco in a bowl! Be sure to heat it up so that all the cheese melts. ;)
Ingredients:
1 lb radiatore
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
2/3 cup water
1 ounce taco seasoning (i recommend taco bell)
2 cups mexican blend cheese, shredded
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 cups sour cream
salsa
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute 1 minute. Add turkey; cook until brown, stirring to crumble. Stir in water and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
3. Combine pasta, turkey mixture, cheese, tomatoes, olives and black beans in a large bowl.
4. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, salt, cumin and sour cream. Stir until well blended.
5. Pour over pasta mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve with salsa.
