Tom’s Taco Noodles

• 1 lb. 85/15 ground beef 
• 8 ozs. of Rotini (you can use what you like ,this was all I had )
• 8 ozs. diced tomatoes( or half 14.5 oz. can I used the walmart brand) 
• 1/2 medium onion diced 
• 1/2 green bell pepper diced 
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
• salt and pepper to taste, plus a dash of mexican oregano( I smashed the oregano with my fIngers).

How to make it  

• I browned the meat, adding the bell pepper, onion and spices until done.
• In the meanwhile I had cooked the Rotinin and drained it.
• I put the Rotini in with the cooked meat and spices. I stirred in th diced tomatoes and checked to see if the salt and pepper was okay.
• I removed from the heat and let it sit.
• I made a simple salsa using the remaining 1/2 can of diced tomatoes, 1 tsp white vinegar, a small handful of cilantro, 1 tbsp of chili sauce, a dash of chocula (any hot sauce would work that you like) and a pinch of mexican oregano. I mixed in a blender and added salt.
• I plated the noodles and topped with the shredded cheese and then added the salsa on top.
