Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain the pasta well.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, tomatoes, and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked spaghetti and cheese, stirring together until the cheese melts. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and your favorite toppings, like diced tomatoes, sour cream, and more cheese.
