Stir in the sauce mixture ( from step 1), taco seasoning, Rotel tomatoes (with juice), and spaghetti noodles. Bring to a boil on high heat. Once boiling, lower heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Take off the heat. Sprinkle half of the cheese in the pan and mix, coating the spaghetti with cheese. Finish with the rest of the cheese and cilantro on top.
