Recipe - Gluten Free One Pot Taco Pasta

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil 
  • 1-1.5 lbs ground turkey or ground beef 
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped 
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced 
  • 1 red bell pepper (seeds removed), diced  
  • 1 jalapeño (seeds removed), diced 
  • 2 tsp chili powder (add an extra 1/2 tsp for extra spice) 
  • 1 tsp cumin 
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt (add an extra 1/4 tsp if needed) 
  • 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes with juices 
  • 15 ounce can of corn, drained and rinsed 
  • 15 ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed 
  • 3/4 cup salsa 
  • 12 ounces brown rice pasta, uncooked
  • 4 cups chicken broth 
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh cilantro, optional (for garnish) 
  • 1 avocado sliced, optional 
DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large 5-quart non-stick pan. Add the onion and cook for 6-7 minutes until the onions are softened. Add the meat and use your spatula to break it up into pieces. Cook the meat until it's no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and salsa. Mix well. Add the uncooked brown rice noodles and chicken broth. Mix well and then bring the mixture to a boil before turning down the heat to medium heat (rolling boil). Cover and cook until the noodles are cooked through, mixing every 5 minutes. The noodles will be softened in about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat and uncover the mixture once the noodles are soft. There will be some liquid left in the pan, which will thicken as the mixture cools. Add a portion of the mixture into a bowl and top it with fresh cilantro and slices of avocado slices.
