Mexaroni!

Simple dinner, simple fix for a Mexican craving and a quick dinner! One of my favourite recipes and probably the only meal I have made in the last couple of weeks. Cupcakes may count as a meal in my book but guess they don't really qualify, do they...

Ingredients

1/2 package of macaroni (250g)
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

3 tablespoon chopped green onion

1 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic

1/2 green pepper (long slices)

1/2 red pepper (long slices)

3 1/2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (I usually find Old El Paso Taco mix packets in Waitrose or Tesco)

1 cup whole or 2 % milk

1 tablespoon cornstarch

8 ounces grated sharp cheddar

1/2 sour cream (optional)

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

2 chopped green chillies

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup diced fresh Roma tomatoes

Blue Corn Chips (optional)

Method
Cook pasta in lightly salted boiling water, 4-6 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside. Heat olive oil in saucepan; add green onion, chillies and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add in green and red pepper and saute for another 1-2 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning. In small bowl, combine milk and cornstarch, add to olive oil mixture cooking until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in grated cheese; cook slowly stirring until melted. Add remaining ingredients except chips; cook until just heated through. Combine gently with pasta; serve immediately. Serve with corn chips. Amounts to about 4-6 servings.
