Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked whole wheat or bean/lentil pasta
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (not drained)
  • 2 medium bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 10 oz can enchilada sauce (either green or red)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded regular or vegan cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small avocado, chopped

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or pot, combine the pasta, broth, black beans, tomatoes, peppers, corn, enchilada sauce, and taco seasoning.
  • Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente (slightly firm yet cooked through) and the sauce has thickened, 14-15 minutes.
  • Add the cheddar cheese and stir until it's melted and incorporated. Feel free to use vegan cheese for a totally vegan/dairy-free dish.
  • Serve hot with any additional cheese desired, fresh cilantro, and avocado as a garnish.
