As y’all know, I am in LOVE with one pot meals. They are so easy, convenient, and most of the time delicious. I picked up a couple cans of RO*TEL last week, and I knew right away I wanted to make a delicious One Pot Cheesy Mexican Pasta. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.

This One Pot Cheesy Mexican Pasta is so colorful and delicious! You load everything into your large skillet or stock pot, and get cooking! These meals are so convenient because usually they take less than 30 minutes from start to finish, and they develop such an amazing flavor by cooking everything together. When I made my first one pot meal ever, Tomato Basil Pasta, I was sure it would be a recipe fail, but it wasn’t and to date that is one of my family’s favorite meals!

So after adding everything to your pot, you bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to a simmer and then cover and cook for about 15 minutes. I like to stir my recipes a few times throughout the simmering, to make sure that all the ingredients get cooked well. When the time is up, you pop off the top and voila! Your One Pot Cheesy Mexican Pasta is ready to eat!

This particular recipe I created is vegetarian, but if you wanted to add some meat, chicken or ground beef would be great in this dish! I would just precook with taco seasoning and then add in at the end!

One Pot Cheesy Mexican Pasta


Ingredients
  • 1 pound pasta noodles (I liked shells for this recipe)
  • 1 red pepper , sliced
  • 1 yellow pepper , sliced
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 red onion , sliced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 10 ounce cans RO*TEL with Green Chilies (do not strain)
  • 4 ½ cups water
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 can black beans , drained and rinsed (14 ounces)
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese , shredded
  • 3 green onions , chopped
Instructions

  1. In a large stock pot, add pasta, peppers, corn, red onion, taco seasoning, RO*TEL, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, cover, and turn heat on high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium/low (so it's simmering), stir, and cover. Cook for 12-16 minutes or until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed - stir throughout this cook time.

  2. Add black beans, lime juice, and cheese; stir well to combine.

  3. Top with green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Looks delicious! I'm trying to cut down on dairy, so I think I'm going to sub nutritional yeast for the cheese! 🙂

    My kind of meal! I used chicken broth instead of water and added some shredded chicken - absolutely delish.
