Taco Chicken Mac

This is a quick dish, for some of that shredded chicken in the freezer.

 

My kids love taco anything, so this works for a quick fix after a day in the garden!

Taco Chicken Mac

4 cups cooked pasta,cooked with one large diced onion

1 1/2 cups cooked beans (pinto, canned chili beans, whatever is on hand, even black beans)

1 small can green chilis

1lb shredded chicken

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup ketchup or tomato sauce

taco seasoning (use one pack or equivalent of homemade or bulk mix)

shredded cheese (opt)

Bring the 1/2 cup water to a simmer and toss in the chicken and taco seasoning. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes and add the ketchup, chilis, cooked pasta, and beans. Heat to a simmer. (Add more liquid if necessary.)

Serve topped with cheese if desired.

Frugal notes:

Chicken was bought on sale at .99lb as split chicken breasts. Cooked in bulk and frozen.

Ketchup and sauce are bought in bulk as well.

Chilis were bought at a discount store.

Pasta was whole grain, bought in the clearance bin in a bulk ziploc bag.

This dish was made for less than $2.
