Texas Pasta Salad

Cook pasta and ground beef
1 Cook pasta until done to your liking. I prefer it on the softer side, some like it al dente.
2 Drain and place in a large bowl.
3 Set aside.
4 Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet, moving around the pan so it crumbles.
5 Add the taco seasoning.
6 Stir well, taste, and add salt and pepper if needed.
7 Remove from heat and set aside.
Dressing
9 Whisk olive oil, lime juice, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a small mixing bowl.
10 Pour mixture over cooled pasta, and toss to combine thoroughly.
