    The whole family loved it!! I only used 1 packet of taco seasoning because I only had a 16 oz bag of tortellini and I didn’t want it to be too salty. Very good! Adding this to my supper rotation!!

    Made this. Couldn’t find the taco seasoning you used, so I did what I could and added ranch seasoning in it.

    I made this tonight, and it was a hit. I only used one packet of seasoning, but that was enough.

    Made this. Only used one packet of taco seasoning and added fire roasted diced tomatoes. So good!

    My husband saw this recipe on Facebook and wanted me to make it. Our local grocery store and Walmart didn’t have the ranch taco, so I’ll be using regular Taco Bell seasoning. They also didn’t have fresh tortellini, so I had buy frozen.

    I’m making this tomorrow. Should I cook the frozen tortellini halfway before adding it to the meat, or cook it in the meat? I’m also adding fire roasted green chilies like I do with regular taco meat. Any suggestions for the frozen tortellini?

      You don’t have to precook them but they may take a few extra min to cook through.

        I made this and it was so yummy!! I added a can of roasted chilies at the beginning and I used half hamburger and half ground pork. We’re a fan of 6 (14,16,20,21 kids and me and my husband) so I doubled the recipe. Near the end I drained half of the broth. Then I added the queso and sour cream. When everything was mixed up, I added some shredded mozzarella. It was a HUGE hit with our family. Each of our kids loved it (14 yr old daughter had 2 bowls and 20 yr old ate 3!!). It was so easy to make, quick, and one of those meals that makes you sleepy afterwards. We loved it and I definitely recommend making this!!
