Yep, another chickpea pasta recipe! This time a taco pasta recipe. I bought a case of chickpea pasta recently so I apologize ahead of time for all the chickpea pasta recipes coming your way! You can tell we have kids in the house by some of these recipes (it looks a bit like hamburger helper) but truth be told I’m sure Bob and I will be eating like this long after the kids are off to college. There is nothing like eating comfort food, but also knowing it’s good for you. This is actually a nutritionally solid meal. I added some fire roasted tomatoes as well as grilled red pepper to make sure there were veggies in there. We also made a kale caesar salad to go along with it. Enjoy!

Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
- 1 box Chick Pea Pasta

- Taco Seasoning ( I used Wick Fowlers, it contains no sugar, yeast, or anything artificial) I do NOT get any compensation for using or talking about this brand.
- 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1-2 red bell pepper (roasted) - place in oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes in a glass container

- salt and pepper to taste
- Top with sour cream or plain yogurt and jalapenos
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to instructions.
- While pasta is cooking brown ground beef in a large skillet on medium heat. Once brown add taco seasoning and all other ingredients except toppings. Drain pasta and add to the beef mixture in the skillet. Add toppings and enjoy!
