Ingredients
  

8 ounces spaghetti

1 pound ground beef or turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 ounce)

1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies

2 cups beef or chicken broth

1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream (optional for serving)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Tortilla chips (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Add Flavor: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat mixture and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Mix in the Goodness: Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), corn, and broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

          Combine and Heat: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine everything. Let it heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

            Serve: Remove from heat and stir in half of the cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt. Top the Taco Spaghetti with the remaining cheese and let it sit for a minute until it melts.

              Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Pair with tortilla chips for extra crunch!
