Cooking Instructions:

In a large pot, combine the pasta, black beans, enchilada sauce, corn, vegetable or chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and the liquid has thickened.

Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.

Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with the remaining cheese and garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. It's important to note that these quick meals can help you stay within budget.

Extra Tips:

For added flavor and texture, consider tossing in some chopped bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños while the pasta cooks.

You can also substitute the black beans for cooked ground beef or shredded chicken if you prefer a meatier dish.
