Mexican Bowtie Pasta

Today's recipe is from Little Birdie Secrets a very fun, and cute craft blog that just so happens to post some recipes here and there.

The recipe is for:

Mexican Bowtie Pasta
Ingredients
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, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces (Or cheat like me and use canned chicken)
1/2 c. shredded colby-jack cheese
1/2 c. chopped cilantro

Directions
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!

My Opinion
This is super yummy and fairly easy. I love vegetables and cilantro- it's just about my favorite ever.

I will use the picture from the blog becausei t's a lot nicer than mine:
