I think I’m sensing the start of a new trend here on the Healthy Little Vittles blog! One-pot meals are where it’s at y’all! So to kick it off, I decided to play it a little safe with a One-Pot Creamy Vegan Taco Pasta. I mean, you can’t go wrong with anything taco or pasta really… combine them together in one meal and we’re talking’ fiesta in your mouth all the way.

As we head back into the busy school season, whatever that may look like this year, these one-pot meals are definitely going to be on repeat at my house. One pot, 20 minutes, happy belly, easy clean up. #winning
So here’s just how simple this delicious One-Pot Creamy Vegan Taco Pasta is: – Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil, then add the corn and black beans. – Whisk in the taco seasoning, plant-milk, vegetable broth, and nutritional yeast, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. – Then add the uncooked pasta of your choice, cover and cook for 15 minutes. – While the pasta is cooking, dice your tomato, slice your avocado and lime. – Remove from heat, stir in the vegan cheese (completely optional by the way, it’s delicious without the vegan cheese too), and 1/2 cup more vegetable broth. – Serve and garnish with avocado, diced tomatoes, cilantro and fresh lime juice.
