French Dressing Taco Pasta Salad

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the ground beef and sprinkle the taco seasoning over it. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, set it aside to cool.

Step 2

While the beef is cooking, bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until it’s tender but still has a little bite—around 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the cooled beef and pasta with the French dressing, black beans, and shredded Cheddar. Give everything a good stir to mix well, then pop it in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to eat.

Step 4

Right before serving, gently fold in the chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced green onions. For some crunch, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top or serve them on the side.
