Ingredients

Scale

Main Components

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 24 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
  • 2 packets taco seasoning
  • 1 3/4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 16 ounces queso dip

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break the meat apart and cook until it is no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain Fat and Add Seasoning: If there is excess fat, drain it from the skillet. Then thoroughly sprinkle the taco seasoning onto the browned beef and stir well to evenly coat the meat.
  3. Add Broth and Tortellini: Pour the beef broth into the skillet with the seasoned beef. Add the fresh cheese tortellini and stir gently to submerge the pasta evenly in the broth mixture.
  4. Simmer Until Tender: Bring the mixture to a steady simmer. Let it cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and plump.
  5. Incorporate Creamy Ingredients: Lower the heat to low and gently fold in the sour cream and queso dip. Stir carefully until the sauce becomes smooth and all ingredients are fully combined.
  6. Serve Immediately: Portion the cheesy taco tortellini into bowls while hot to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra heat, substitute with hot taco seasoning or add diced jalapeños during the simmering step.
  • Be sure to drain excess fat to prevent the dish from becoming greasy.
  • Fresh cheese tortellini is preferred for best texture.
  • Check ingredient labels for allergens if you have food sensitivities.
