Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Dressing:


Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk yogurt and light mayo together. Add lime juice, cumin, salt, chili powder and smoked paprika and whisk until well combined.
  3. Add in the cooled pasta, cooked chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Stir in the dressing until well combined. Cover and let it chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
