Ingredients
Half a box of rotini pastaCan of cornCan of black beans4 stalks of celeryHalf a green pepperSmall head of broccoliHalf a raw onion1 diced jalapenohalf an avocado, choppedcilantro to tasteabout 1/4 jar of spicy quesoabout 1/2 cup of pace or other salsagreen tabasco to tastecumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper to taste
Cook pasta (I cook it with diced garlic for flavor) and drain and rinse and make sure it's room temperature. Add all veggies and beans and mix. Add jalapeno, cilantro, and spices, and mix again. Then mix in the queso and the salsa. Chill overnight if you can stand it!
Makes about 10 generous side dish servings. Also great as a main dish with chicken - grill it with the tabasco, cumin, onion and garlic powder, and pepper, and mix in.
For people not into spicy stuff, you can omit the jalapneo, use mild queso, and tabasco.
