Instructions
-1 Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and set pasta aside. -1 Preheat broiler to high. -1 To a very large oven-safe skillet, add the butter and heat over medium-high heat to melt. -1 Add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture turns light brown and has bubbled for about 2 minutes. Cook long enough to cook off the raw flour taste, but not so long it gets overly browned; you’re making a roux. -1 Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly, making sure to smooth out any possible clumps that formed. -1 Add the taco seasoning, pepper, and whisk until smooth. -1 Add 3 cups cheese (about 12 ounces) and whisk until melted and smooth. -1 Add the pasta, black beans, green onions, and stir to combine and evenly coat. -1 Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese over the top and place skillet under the broiler until the top layer of cheese has melted and is bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. If desired, allow cheese to brown slightly, or to taste. Keep a very careful eye on your skillet and the cheese because broilers can burn things in a matter of seconds. -1 Evenly sprinkle with the tomatoes, reserved 2 tablespoons green onions, cilantro, and serve immediately.View original recipe
