Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounce rotini pasta
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

1. 1. Cook the pasta: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the rotini pasta and cook it according to the package directions until it’s al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and let it cool completely.

2. 2. Prepare the veggie mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.

3. 3. Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together until smooth and well combined.

4. 4. Combine all components: Add the cooled rotini pasta to the vegetable mixture in the bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss everything together to ensure the pasta and veggies are evenly coated.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For meal prep, consider making the dressing separately and combining it just before serving to maintain the pasta’s texture.
