Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups spiral pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 1.25 ounce package taco seasoning
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 7 ounce bag corn chips
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup French salad dressing
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in spiral pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add ground beef. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir taco seasoning into beef; cool.
  • Stir beef mixture into pasta. Add lettuce, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, corn chips, onion, and French dressing; toss to combine and coat. Top with sour cream.
