    1/4 c  Black olives; sliced
    1/4 c  Cilantro; chopped
      3    Green onions; thin sliced
           Sour cream
 
  ASSEMBLE THE SEASONING MIX: Combine the chilli spice,
  cumin, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder,
  onion powder, oregano, and chilli flakes in a small
  bowl.
  
  Note: This will make more than you need for this recipe.
  Store leftovers in a covered glass jar.
  
  COOK THE GROUND BEEF WITH ONIONS AND GARLIC: Place a
  large deep skillet or sauté pan with a lid over medium
  heat and add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook
  for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring to break up the meat, until
  browned. Drain off as much of the excess grease from the
  skillet as possible and return it to the heat.
  
  SEASON AND SIMMER: Add the fiesta taco seasoning mix and
  stir to combine it well with the beef. Add the stock,
  tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, chiles, and pasta.
  Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to
  low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  
  ADD THE CORN AND SIMMER: Remove the cover, stir in the
  corn, and simmer for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until
  the sauce has been mostly absorbed.
  
  STIR IN THE CHEESES: Turn the heat off and stir in half
  of the Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses. Sprinkle the
  remaining cheese over the top and cover the skillet for
  2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top with
  the black olives, cilantro, and green onions.
  
  GARNISH AND SERVE: Garnish individual servings with sour
  cream, if desired. The pasta will keep for 3 to 4 days
  in the fridge in a covered container.
