A delicious fusion dish combining cheesy beef enchiladas and cheesy tortellini, all made in a single skillet for an easy, hearty meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions
