Taco Chicken Pasta

I love simple meals with minimal ingredients.  This taco chicken pasta is a great meal for those days we only have a short time between school and practice.  (ok, so that’s almost every night in our home during the spring and the fall – I think that’s one of the reasons most of my favorite meals take such little time to make)

My whole family enjoys this one and it is very filling.  I’ve also made this with ground turkey browned and added in instead of the chicken.  A family favorite for sure ~ enjoy!
