Instructions
Add the ground beef to a large skillet or Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and taco seasoning to it, stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Add the chicken broth, pasta and enchilada sauce to the pot and stir well. Bring to a boil then turn down the heat to a medium and cook for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Combine the mozzarella cheese with the cheddar cheese and add about 2 cups of it to the skillet and stir it well. Turn off the heat and top with remaining cheese.
Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
I used whole wheat mafalda pasta, but any pasta as mentioned in the ingredient list can be used.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or 2 to 3 months in the freezer.
