Creamy Ranch Taco Pasta Salad
Ingredients
- 16 ounces trottole pasta
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 Say Grace taco seasoning
- 3/4 c chunky salsa
- 3/4 c ranch dressing
- 3/4 c catalina dressing
- 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
- 3 c romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 c shredded colby jack cheese
- 1/2 c diced red onion
- tortilla chips for serving
- 1 c corn
- 1 15 oz can pinto beans
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the trottole noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside until the pasta has cooled completely.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease/liquid.
- Add the taco seasoning to ground beef, stir together until thoroughly combined, then remove from heat.
- Transfer the cooked ground beef to a small bowl, cover, and allow to cool completely.
- Make the dressing by adding salsa, ranch dressing, and catalina dressing to a small bowl. Stir together to combine.
- Once everything has cooled completely, add the tomatoes, red onions, shredded cheese, lettuce, and dressing mixture to the large bowl. Toss together to combine.
- Mix in the crushed tortilla chips right before serving or serve them on the side so they don’t get soggy. Say Grace and enjoy!
