Equipment

Instructions
Heat the oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring every so often until translucent - 4-5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Turn the heat up to medium high and add the beef mince. Cook until browned all over. Drain any excess fat then proceed.
Add the taco seasoning and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly and cook for another minute.
Add the stock, taco sauce, black beans, diced peppers, pasta and salt. Mix well.
Bring to a boil then cover with a lid (with a vent or slightly ajar) and cook for 10-15 minutes or until al dente (the time will depend on the size of your pasta). Make sure to give it a stir every few minutes so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the sour cream.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the cheese. Some taco seasonings have thickeners added so you can add a little water or stock if you want a looser consistency.

Notes
Tablespoons: I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons). Check yours before measuring.
Cheese: Shred your cheese yourself from a block. Pre-shredded cheeses often have coatings to stop it clumping but it can affect the way it melts and the texture.
