Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 package cheese tortellini (about 12 oz)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can red enchilada sauce (10 oz)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream (for topping)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease.
2. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and enchilada sauce. Let simmer for 5–6 minutes.
3. Add cheese tortellini to the skillet and stir to coat. Cover and simmer for 6–8 minutes, until tortellini is tender.

5. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
Notes
Fresh, refrigerated, or frozen tortellini all work great—just adjust cook time as needed.
Add extra shredded cheese or chopped jalapeños for even more Tex-Mex flavor.
