1 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
2 cups uncooked rigatoni pasta
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles
1 jar (24 oz) thick chunky salsa
2 cups water
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Heat 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add beef; cook until brown, crumbling as it cooks. Add taco seasoning mix, stirring to coat beef. Add pasta, chiles, salsa and water, stirring to combine. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to simmering. Cover; cook about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until pasta is tender. Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Cover; let stand about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro just before serving.
