Main Components
- 1 pound ground beef
- 24 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
- 2 packets taco seasoning
- 1 and 3/4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 16 ounces queso dip
- Cook the Ground Beef: Add ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Season the Meat: Drain any excess fat if necessary, then incorporate the taco seasoning thoroughly to coat the browned meat evenly.
- Add Broth and Tortellini: Pour in the beef broth and stir in the fresh cheese tortellini, mixing well to submerge the pasta evenly in the liquid.
- Simmer the Tortellini: Bring the contents to a steady simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and plump.
- Add Creamy Ingredients: Lower the heat and gently fold in sour cream and queso, stirring until the sauce is smooth and all ingredients are fully integrated.
- Serve Immediately: Portion the dish immediately while hot to enjoy optimal flavor and creamy texture.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, use hot taco seasoning or add diced jalapeños when simmering the tortellini.
- Required Equipment: Large skillet, stirring spoon, measuring cups.
- Check each ingredient for potential allergens and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
