Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- Add ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, breaking up meat, until no longer pink and lightly browned.
- Drain excess fat if necessary, then incorporate taco seasoning thoroughly to coat the browned meat.
- Pour in beef broth and stir in fresh cheese tortellini, mixing well to submerge pasta evenly.
- Bring contents to a steady simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tortellini are tender and plump.
- Lower heat and gently fold in sour cream and queso, stirring until the sauce is smooth and ingredients are fully integrated.
- Portion immediately while hot for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap ground beef for turkey and use low-fat cheese. Pair with crisp salads for a fresh contrast.
