MEXICAN FIDEOS 
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
8 oz. fideos (vermicelli) pasta
1/4 c. Pace picante sauce (medium)
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 env. Lawry's taco seasoning mix

Brown ground meat; drain excess fat and set aside. In a pan with a bit of oil, brown vermicelli pasta, stirring constantly to avoid burning (I find that breaking vermicelli mounds into halves, or even fourths, helps the browning process.) Add meat, picante sauce, tomatoes, and seasoning mix to pasta. Pour 1 cup of water and mix well. Reduce heat to low and let simmer (covered) until water has been absorbed and pasta is cooked. Serve with warm tortillas. Serves 4.

I make this all the time and is a big hit with my family, the only difference that I use is rotel. Use the original or if you want it hot use rotel instead of picante! Also and camino and cumin just a tad of the cumin and you bound to have a hit meal!!!
