One Pot Taco Pasta

This was so good! I had 2 bowls. I love the taste of quinoa pasta. I think it tastes better than whole wheat and it's gluten free. This was simple to make and did not take that long.



Ingredients

Ground turkey
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Pepper
1/2 cup of canned black beans, drained 
1 (14.5-ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup of taco sauce
1 cup of salsa
2 cups of elbow macaroni (I used quinoa elbows)
Shredded cheddar cheese (I used dairy-free cheddar)
Fresh cilantro leaves
Olive oil
Avocado

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat
2. Add ground turkey and garlic
3. Cook until turkey has browned, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks
4. Season with pepper
5. Stir in black beans until well combined, then stir in tomatoes, taco sauce, salsa, pasta and 2 cups water. 
6. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
7. When serving, top with cheese, avocado, and cilantro
