Taco Pasta Skillet

I know there is no excuse for my lack of updates on recipes. But I do have a few to update to you today! This one was really good, the portion size was very large and it was very filling. I had it for leftovers a few times last week ( I don't really like leftovers either!). I got this recipe off the weight watchers community board. It was so easy to make, my husband actually cooked this one!
