I mentioned last week I am on a pantry and freezer clean out splurge lately! That means lots of go to pantry style meals coming up. One that may go down as one of my all time favorites that we have had lately is this Mexican Chicken Spaghetti.
How do you make Mexican Chicken Spaghetti?
When I started making it, I had an idea in mind but really was not sure how I would execute it. I started by looking through the pantry and found tomato sauce, black beans, and Rotel.
I knew that I could make something delicious using those ingredients. Next up, I was really craving some spaghetti.
When I was growing up that was one meal my mom made regularly; although hers was pretty much pasta and sauce. Now, I have learned that you can really make spaghetti a delicious one dish meal!
Just looking at these pictures is making me crave this all over again! I added a little sour cream to mine then I ate it with some tortilla chips too. It was amazing!
This can also be made using ground beef too; however, I was trying to cut down on calories and red meats so I used ground chicken instead.
Enjoy!
