We love Mexican food at our house! I think my husband could eat Mexican every night and be perfectly happy. For him, it’s all about the flavor!
Mexican One Pot Pasta dish is easy enough for a quick weeknight meal while only dirtying one pot. I love when clean up is a breeze, what about you?
This recipe is mild enough for my daughter to enjoy, while still providing my husband with enough flavor.
My Mexican One Pot Pasta recipe uses shredded chicken. I love to cook a bunch of chicken, shred it and then freeze 1.5 cups of chicken in a Ziploc bag. This helps me put dinner on the table faster.
