Lefty's Cooking Tips

A favorite macaroni main dish with a Mexican twist.
Variation Make this into a taco salad by serving it on a bed of chopped or shredded lettuce.
Health Twist Use sour cream with less fat or no fat to reduce the calories and fat in this dish.

Instructions

Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain.
Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked Pasta and Sauce Mix. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer 13 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Remove from heat and uncover (sauce will thicken as it stands).
Arrange 1 cup tortilla chips on each of 5 serving plates. Spoon about 1 cup beef mixture over tortilla chips on each plate. Top each with 1/4 cup salsa and about 2 tablespoons sour cream. Sprinkle with olives and onions.
