Servings: persons

1
Prepare the macaroni according to the package instructions.

(Note: Don't rinse the noodles.

The starch left on them helps bind the goulash so it doesn't get too runny.)

Saute/fry the sirloin and onion in a skillet till the meat is brown and the onions become translucent/soft.
5
Drain the fat off.
6
Add in tomato juice and the taco seasoning to the meat.
7
Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
8
In a large pot, combine the noodles, meat mix, corn, beans, and shredded cheese.
9
Allow this to simmer for about 20 min or possibly till heated through and the cheese is melted.
10
You may need to add in up to a c. more of the tomato juice if it's too dry.
11
To serve: place a helping of goulash on a plate then garnish with lowfat sour cream, black olives, and green onions.
12
It's nice to set the garnishes on the table as when serving tacos.
13
Do not be afraid to use whatever garnishes you'd use on a taco.
14
Some like green peppers, jalepenos, salsa, fresh diced tomatoes, crushed torilla chips, cheddar cheese.
15
Get creative!

This dish is so easy even someone a little intimidated with Tex-Mex cooking can really shine and look like a pro!
