Conchitas

This recipe makes an authentic mexican goulash pairing ground beef with pasta. It is called Conchitas due to the shape of the pasta.

This is a recipe for the stuff that they sell out in the parking lot of the pipe yard during lunch to the workers. One of the mexican guys wife will have a side hustle selling lunches out of the car and this side they used to put in there is my Fave! Here is the recipe!

Buddy of mine made this Conchitas from the recipe and said it was the Bomb! He says that adding some lime zest gives more acidity and some goat cheese crumble on top for some sour. It looks like he used a different pasta as well, which is totally acceptable and encouraged! Make this recipe your own! There are tons of customizations possible with this.
