Ingredients
  

For the Beef Base

  • 9 ounces fresh cheese tortellini Frozen tortellini works well too.
For Creaminess
  • 1 cup sour cream Greek yogurt can be a healthier option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it into smaller pieces. Sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain any excess fat, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Stir well and allow to bloom for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine, then add the fresh cheese tortellini, ensuring all pasta is submerged.
  4. Let the tortellini simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the tortellini is tender, lower the heat and fold in the sour cream and queso dip, stirring until smooth.
  6. Spoon the Cheesy Taco Tortellini Bowl into bowls and serve hot.
