Ramen Noodle Taco Bowls Shake Things up on Taco Tuesday!
This easy Ramen Noodle Taco Bowl recipe is the ultimate comfort food combo.
Love tacos and ramen noodles? Try combining these two comfort foods for a zesty weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy!
This recipe uses a few pantry staples plus some fresh add-ins for a quick, flavorful, and frugal dish. My grocery bill was under $10 for this simple, delicious meal idea!
Hip tips for making this Ramen Noodle Taco Bowls recipe:
- Make our Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe for the most flavorful taco meat ever. It’s super easy to make, much healthier than buying packets of taco seasoning at the grocery store, and you’ll love the way it tastes!
- You could definitely change this recipe’s add-ins to accommodate what you have on hand or cater to your family’s taste preferences.
- Ramen noodles are one of the key ingredients that make this recipe both unique and inexpensive, so I would encourage you to try this recipe as written at least the first time you make it! But if you don’t have any ramen noodles on hand or you’d prefer to use something different, you could always opt to serve the meat mixture on a bed of rice instead.

This sounds delicious. If I wanted to substitute rice for this, how much cooked rice would be the equivalent?
I would say 4 cups cooked would work out. Thanks and enjoy! 😀
