I was worried about adding 3 cups of water, and I read the reviews that suggested making the pasta separately. I only added 1.5 cups of water and it turned out perfectly! I also read the review about the dish not being spicy enough, so I added cumin and garlic powder in addition to the taco seasoning. It turned out great! I would definitely make this again.

Make the pasta separately then add it into the sauce. The water doesn’t evaporate and trying to strain everything is really tough. Managed to save the dish and it still turned out well.

Decently easy to make! I doubled the recipe for a group and it still came out pretty great. It’s super good with a dollop of sour cream on top!
