Taco Mac And Cheese Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This mexican-inspired spin on mac and cheese takes a humble box of mac and cheese dinner and kicks it up with taco-seasoned ground beef, fresh avocado, and sweet peppers all on top of a bed of crumbled corn tortilla chips. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal when you want something comforting and familiar, but not too familiar. The layered presentation is eye-catching and colorful, and diners get the fun of mixing everything up in their own bowl. By using store-bought mac and cheese and simmer sauce, most of the work is already done for you, so you can have fun and get creative. As long as you don't make it too spicy, this dish is a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids' diet.
