Taco Spaghetti

Today I’m going to show you how to make one of my favorite one pot meals, tex mex spaghetti. By one pot meals I mean everything is cooked in the same pot including the spaghetti. I know some of you might go ehhhhh, I know I thought the same thing. But it seriously works for this dish because all of this delicious sauce is absorbed directly into the pasta.
