Vegetarian Taco Pasta

So I found this post on IG and thought I saved it but when I went to make the pasta I couldn't find the original post. So unfortunately I cant give any inspo credit and I had to wing the recipe. Thankfully its basic ingredients and it turned out better than I thought it would. Part of the fun with cooking, is finding a recipe and making it your own. I meal prepped with this and ate every last bit of it. Its very filling and each day I changed up my topping so it never got boring. I will defiantly make this again!

Ingredients:

• 8oz pasta of choice, I used banza rotini style

• 1tbs oil of choice

• 1/2 of a medium onion

• 1/2 green pepper

• 1/4 salt but it needed a little more so every day I just added a pinch while reheating

• 3 cloves garlic minced

• taco seasoning (probably the way to go, I just winged it with the spices) or 1tbs chili powder, 2tsp cumin, 1tsp dry oregano

• 10oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies

• 15oz black beans, drained & rinsed

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1/4 cup cilantro

• shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro and any other toppings you like

Directions:

• put water to boil for pasta

• cut up onion, pepper and mince the garlic

• add onion and pepper to heated oil, stir and wait until soft to add garlic

• drain and rinse beans, add to pot

• add can of tomatoes

• next add all spices and give a stir

• once pasta is done reserve 1/2 cup of the water and drain pasta, add to pot

• add 1/2 cup of the sour cream and the reserved water, give it a good stir

• add cilantro

• now you can add your cheese to pot or wait and add to each individual serving that part is up to you

• stir and let cook until all ingredients are hot

• once its hot, its ready to eat, add whatever toppings you enjoy and that's it!! Super Easy!!

So thats it friends, super easy and quick vegetarian meal that will not disappoint. Whether you are using this as a meal prep or a family dinner, its not going to disappoint!! As always thanks for reading
