Start by sautéing minced garlic and onion with olive oil on a medium heat.
Add the ground beef with 1 tbsp of the taco seasoning and sauté until browned.
Add beef broth, pasta shells, salsa, corn and black beans. Add 1 tsp sea salt and remaining 2 tbsp of taco seasoning. Bring to a boil.
Turn heat down to simmer. You will want to continue to stir so the pasta does not stick to the bottom.
Continue to stir until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is cooked. Add the shredded cheese until it melts.
Top with cilantro and red pepper flakes.
