Ingredients

1 pound Ground beef juicy and bold
½ teaspoon Salt to enhance flavors
Pinch Black pepper for a kick
1 ounce Taco seasoning packet or homemade
2 cups Water liquid base
1 cup Jarred mild salsa adds sweetness
8 ounces Uncooked rotini pasta spiral shapes
1 ½ cups Shredded Mexican-style cheese creamy star
Optional toppings tomatoes, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

Fire up your cooker on medium heat and brown the ground beef till it’s cooked through. Don’t forget to drain the fat.
Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and taco seasoning. Stir it all together to coat the beef.
Pour in the water and jarred salsa. Bring everything to a boil.
Stir in the uncooked rotini pasta. Cover with lid, seal ring, close float valve, then reduce heat to low. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes till tender.
When the float valve pops, pressure has been released. Open the lid. Stir in cheese and let it melt.
Dish it out and sprinkle on chosen toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

Optional toppings like tomatoes and avocado add fresh texture. Serve hot for best taste.
