Taco Mac

You’ve heard of Chili Mac before, but what about TACO MAC???

Honestly, it’s pretty much the same thing but with a slightly different flavor profile. You use taco seasoning (which usually DOES include chili powder) and that’s what makes this Mac different from Chili Mac.

If you really want to make things more taco-fied, before serving you can top with crushed tortilla chips, lettuce and tomatoes. Add avocados and sour cream, too, if your heart desires.

For me…I’ll eat this mac as is. It’s THAT dang good.

Enjoy!
