Taco Mac & Cheese

A mod podge of two childhood favorites: tacos and mac & cheese.

Need we say more?

Although not the healthiest thing
(however, definitely healthier than hamburger helper or hot pockets),

Taco Mac & Cheese

is super fast to make, filling, and delicious,
regardless of it's lack of visual aesthetics. 



Ingredients:
1 chicken breast
1/2 cup sour cream
3 oz. low fat cream cheese
4 tbs. taco seasoning
Shredded mozzarella cheese
4 oz. rotini noodles
1/4 diced yellow onion
1 cup canned diced tomatoes


Begin by boiling water and adding noodles.


While water is heating up, heat a pan with some olive oil on the stove (heat at approximately between high and medium), and place both chicken breasts on the stove for about 10-12 minutes (5-6 minutes each side). Make sure to check that the chicken is cooked through.


Once chicken is cooked, cut it up into bit size pieces. In another pan (or rinse of the one used for the chicken), place the cut up chicken, diced yellow onion, and drained diced tomatoes. Cook and stir for about a minute, then add sour cream, cream cheese, and taco seasoning. Continue to stir and mix until sauce thickens and cream cheese has melted. 


Add the sauce, veggies, and chicken to the drained noodles. Top with shredded mozzarella and eat!


Happy eating!
