Preheat the broiler to HIGH and position the rack 8 inches from the heat.

While the water is coming to a boil, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the hamburger.

Drain the grease from the skillet and mix in the cumin, coriander, chili powder and pepper.

In a medium sauce pot melt the butter and add the flour to it.

10
When the milk comes to a bubble, stir in the cheese, cilantro and parsley with a wooden spoon.
11
When the cheese has melted, stir in the tomatoes.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it back into the large pot.

Add the contents of the hamburger and all of the cheddar sauce, and stir to combine.
