Ingredients

• 1 box ziti or penne pasta
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup salsa (I like the fresh salsa you find in the refrigerated section better than jar salsa)
• 1 teaspoon cumin (Use taco seasoning if you don’t have this)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 can (15 oz) corn (drained)
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained & rinsed)
• 3 cooked shredded/chunked chicken breasts
• 2 cups shredded cheese
• Crushed tortilla chips, Doritos or Fritos (optional)

Instructions

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish and spray with cooking spray. Set aside. 
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Don’t forget to salt the pasta water. I use about 1 teaspoon salt. 
• While pasta is cooking, combine sour cream, salsa, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large mixing bowl.
• Drain the pasta when it’s done cooking and add into the sour cream mixture. Stir to combine. Add in the corn, black beans, chicken, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir together to combine. 
• Pour into the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover with tin foil and cook for 20 minutes. 
• Take the tin foil off and let cook an additional 5 minutes.
• Top with broken chips of your choice (optional)
• Other great, but optional garnishes include green onions, tomato, and avocado slices if wanted.
