Ingredients Needed for this Fiesta Taco Tortellini on the Blackstone (or flat top)
| 🌮 Ground Beef – I used 1 lb. ground beef, could also swap for ground turkey or chicken! 🌮 Chili Powder- I just used a little seasoning instead of taco packets but can use a taco seasoning or fajita seasoning if you have it. 🌮 Ground Cumin– This is where taco seasoning gets that strong flavor. So same as above. 🌮 Cheese Tortellini– I just used 2 packs of tortellini from Aldi they are in the dry pasta section. You can use refrigerated or even frozen ones. 🌮 Fiesta Corn/ Southwestern Style Corn– I had some frozen for a recipe that I didn’t use the rest of so about 1/2 a can but if your family enjoys corn, you can use the whole can. 🌮 Salsa – This makes up the sauce so about 2 cups is what I used. Feel free to use what every flavor salsa you enjoy! 🌮 Cheese – Gotta have some cheese sprinkled on top! |
