One-Pot Taco Pasta

Yummy and filling.

For people looking for an easy substitute for vegan mince: I did this recipe with TVP ( small soy chunk).

Love that it cooks in one pan. Very delicious

Mmm a lovely idea, Stephanie, thank you! ☺️

Very easy, delicious and kid friendly

Hi,

Does anyone know of an easy substitute for the vegan mince? Mock meat is very off putting to me so I wasn't sure if there was an easy sub. Would lentils work?

PUL Team - April 19, 2025, 3:47 p.m.

Hey Payal, you could use lentils if you'd like! One of our team members has done this recipe with lentils, shredded mushrooms, and chopped walnuts instead of the soy veggie ground and beans. They also added chili flakes for an extra kick. Happy cooking 🫶

great recipe

This recipe saved me from having to go to the grocery store and for that I will be eternally grateful. All pantry and freezer items! Love it! (A dollop of garlic aioli is amazing on top)

Used 2tbsp of PUL Mexican seasoning for the taco seasoning. Replaced veggie ground with cooked brown lentils. Love that it cooks all in one pot , easy to make and great flavor. Thank you!

Very tasty, especially for the amount of time it takes to prepare! So quick, and you only have one pot to wash after!
I made some pico de gallo that served as a great topping for this!

Love the idea of serving it with pico de gallo, Emma! Thanks a bunch 🫶

Yummy! Quick weekday meal that tastes great ❤️

Wonderful!

Amazing !

Our house is obsessed with this recipe - so much so, my partner is now eating more vegan dishes. Phenomenal!

Would the tofu chorizo recipe work as a sub for the veggie ground?

PUL Team - April 22, 2024, 9:03 p.m.

Hey Maggie, yes you could use the tofu chorizo recipe in this pasta! 😊

I think adding 3 cups was too much but once I let the pasta shimmer for 20mins and the pasta is cooked, the pasta absorbed the water and the pasta is perfect

I think the 3 cups of water have a wrong ML next to it.
If I measure 3 cups I get around 550ml and not 720ml.

Otherwise it’s really good!

PUL Team - March 28, 2024, 4:43 a.m.

Hey Pim, a standard 1 cup is equal to 240 mL (in some countries 250 mL) so I wonder if you were using a different size measurement?

so good

So so good !

So yummy!

Another recipe for the books. Delicious 😋
Easy to make.

Easy and amazing!

Simple and delicious

My absolute new favorite meal for my family. The kids love this and I love how easy and quick it is. This should be on every parents menu at least once a week. Thank you so much!

Aww we're beyond happy to hear the pasta is being enjoyed, Lorena! Thanks for the glowing review 🤗

Hearty, tasty, and oh-so filling. I added some salt and hot sauce to punch it up a bit 👊🏻

Just tried this, and i love it! Quick and easy, just as I like it. I added some garlic and bell pepper and i'd recommend not to skip the sour cream!

PUL Team - Jan. 14, 2024, 11:42 p.m.

Woohoo! So happy to hear, Svenja, thank you 🙌

Added orange pepper to the mix to boost the vegetables kids loved it.

PUL Team - Jan. 10, 2024, 7:23 a.m.

A delicious addition, Erica, thank you! 😊

Perfekt for a lazy 1 January 👌🏻

Perfect dinner. Added soy chorizo as our crumbles and it kicked up the spice big time 😂 even the kid who hates pasta loved this meal.

PUL Team - Dec. 12, 2023, 8:40 a.m.

A lovely idea to add soy chorizo, Amanda, thank you! 😊

This tastes like a cozy, skillet style dish that my mom used to make....pure comfort food. Thanks Sadia!

PUL Team - Dec. 12, 2023, 8:37 a.m.

Aww love the personal connection to the recipe, Heather, thanks for taking the time to share!

This recipe will be one of my go-to’s as I navigate a beef/chicken-free diet. It was satisfying. The jalapeños help give the dish a flavourful kick. I’m curious to read other comments to see what others are adding to this to change it up :)

PUL Team - Nov. 29, 2023, 4:33 p.m.

Hey there, Summer, thanks for sharing your journey with plant foods with us 🌱 One of our team members has done this recipe with lentils, shredded mushrooms, and chopped walnuts instead of the soy veggie ground and beans. They also added chili flakes for an extra kick. We'd love to hear more ideas too though 😃

Delicious balanced flavours. Simple to make. Cheap. Kids liked it!

Delicious!!!

Great recipe and quick to pull together! Will be a staple for quick weeknight dinners.

I loved this one so much! So simple and quick. I really appreciated the minimal chopping tonight. I didn’t include the water in the sauce because I cooked the pasta separately, and it turned out perfectly.

PUL Team - Aug. 14, 2023, 6:45 p.m.

Yayy so happy to hear the pasta was enjoyed, Seneca, thank you!

The amount of flavors this recipe offers for the time taken to cook it is just mind blowing!!! So easy, so quick and so flavorful!!! Loved it!!

Delicious! Will definitely keep this in the weeknight rotation. Used GF brown rice pasta and the amount of liquid called for in the recipe worked well.

PUL Team - July 26, 2023, 10:57 p.m.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the pasta, Cathryn!

I tried it, and it came out very soupy. I think it might be too much water. I’m gonna try it again but with a lot less water, and more of the other stuff ( beans, corn..) hopefully it works out better that way! :)

PUL Team - July 18, 2023, 2:57 a.m.

Hey Manu, thanks so much for taking the time to help us improve! We've heard another review expressing the same experience, so we've just retried this recipe and reduced the water a bit 🤗 I hope this helps in case you decide to give it another go!

Manu M. - July 26, 2023, 10:39 p.m.

That’s so considerate of you guys for trying it again, thank you. ☺️And I’m definitely gonna try it again! It looks like a fun recipe and I really want to perfect it. I’ll keep what you said in mind! Thank you so much for the reply! :)

Simply amazing. Love the one pot simplicity of this recipe. Flavorful and filling!

Totally loved it. We didn’t have vegan sour cream, so we took vegan aioli instead and it really worked out well. Thank you for this great recipe.

PUL Team - July 13, 2023, 2:36 a.m.

Mmm a lovely idea, Susi!

So good, I actually added Jovial gluten free noodles to this recipe and it was amazing

Tasty but turned out very wet, I would use much less water in future!

PUL Team - July 18, 2023, 12:52 p.m.

Hey Ed, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us - we've just retested the recipe and updated the amount of liquid in the ingredient list. Thanks so much for helping us improve what we do - happy to hear the pasta was enjoyed in any case and hopefully the update helps to make it even more enjoyable if you give it another go! 😊

Super delicious! Will make again, will probably add more beans and corn next time.

Wow! So good! Kept going back for seconds. Definitely a keeper. Love an easy weeknight meal!

PUL Team - June 21, 2023, 8:49 a.m.

So happy to hear, Shannon, thank you 😊

Super delicious, easy and quick to make!
I absolutely love it! 😍😋

PUL Team - June 11, 2023, 6:44 p.m.

Can’t wait to try! Looks great 😊
