Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned, 3–5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and canned diced tomatoes.
- Add the spaghetti and water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the pasta is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced Roma tomato, and cilantro. Stir until the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately, garnished with more Roma tomato and cilantro, if desired.
- Enjoy!
