Taco Pasta Salad

I saw this in a magazine over Christmas break and made it today...easy and the possible additions to it are infinite!

2-3 cups bowtie pasta, cooked and cooled.
1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn (I used the white & yellow mixed)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup prepared salsa (I used a little more than this)
2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix (I used a little more like 3)

In large bowl combine pasta, black beans, corn, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning. Mix well, chill and serve with tortilla chips.

* Kevin likes all salads to have meat in them, so I grilled some chicken and added that to mine. But I think cooked ground beef would be good too.

* I had some grape tomatoes that I cut up in it as well...a good addition! Chopped green pepper would also be good (but I didn't have any).

* I also think it would be good served on a bed of romaine lettuce (Cheddars restaurant does a pasta & green salad that is one of my favorite things) and then tossed together.

Enjoy!
