mexican bowtie pasta recipe

    It's not our normal recipe day, but I have been canning peaches the last few days and haven't had time to finish the posts I have in the works. Since so many of you asked for the recipes shown on my recipe board, I thought we'd have a bonus recipe this week! The others will follow soon. Enjoy!


    Mexican Bowtie Pasta

    1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1/2 c. frozen corn, run under cold water for a minute
    1/4 c. diced red onion
    1 avacado, diced
    1/2 c. diced tomato
    Juice from 1 lime (I used 2 Tbsp. bottled lime juice in a pinch)
    1/2 c. mayonaise
    1 c. salsa of your choice
    2-3 c. bowtie pasta (cook 2 min. less that directed)
    1 c. or less chicken or steak, booked and cut into bite-sized pieces
    1/2 c. shredded colby-jack cheese
    1/2 c. chopped cilantro

    Combine first six ingredients (through lime) in a bowl. Chill.

    Mix mayo and salsa together and pour over cooked pasta. Chill.

    Before serving, add veggies to pasta. Toss with cheese, meat, and cilantro. Serve cold.

    *You can also omit the pasta and serve as a yummy dip with tortilla chips!
