Steps
-
Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
Cook the Ground Meat: While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.
-
Season the Meat: Stir in the taco seasoning and the diced tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Make the Sauce: Lower the heat and add the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to the skillet. Stir to combine, creating a creamy sauce. Add in the shredded cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
-
Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy taco sauce.
-
Serve: Top with chopped green onions, shredded lettuce, and a dollop of salsa or hot sauce if desired. Serve hot.
