Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat brown the ground beef. Halfway through the browning process add the onion.  Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.  Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute; stirring frequently.  Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the fire roasted diced tomatoes, green chiles, taco seasoning, and beef broth.  Bring to a simmer and add the pasta.  Cover and simmer until the pasta is tender.  Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 3

Turn the heat to low and stir in the cheese.  Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.  For best results serve promptly.
