Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a large Dutch oven or pot, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and the onion is softened.
- Step 2
Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Step 3
To the taco meat, stir in the uncooked pasta shells, chicken broth, tomato sauce, and Rotel. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Step 4
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and colby jack cheese a little bit at a time until melted and well combined. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve warm.
