Vegetarian Taco Pasta Salad Recipe - Food.com image

I wanted a salad like this but couldn't really find anything that fit the bill and decided to create one...this is it! The kids eat it like crazy! A really good taco pasta salad without meat...you could add it if you wanted to...but why when this is sooo tasty!! Please note that this salad gets better if made the day or even two before. If you don't like spicy you can use regular taco seasoning instead of the hot and spicy, and leave out the jalapenos. Not really sure how long to make this so it's a guess but that doesn't include the chilling time.

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (18 ounce) package radiatore, cooked and drained
1 (16 ounce) bottle ranch dressing
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope of hot and spicy taco seasoning mix
1/4 cup Italian dressing (I use Paul Newmans Own Family)
1 teaspoon jalapeno, seeded and chopped
dried chipotle powder
2 (15 ounce) black beans (rinsed and drained)
2 (15 ounce) dark red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
2 (15 ounce) corn (drained)
3 -4 green onions, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic
1/4 red onion, chopped
Mexican blend cheese (I use sargentos)
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with jalapenos (drained and squeezed)
black olives (optional. amount according to taste) (optional)

Steps:

  • Placed cooked radiatore in large bowl and add black beans, kidney beans, corn, green onions, red bell pepper, garlic and red onion, tomatoes, Black olives if your using them.
  • Sauce:.
  • in a bowl mix the ranch dressing, taco seasoning mix, Italian, jalapenos. Mix thourghly. I sprinkle the chipotle seasoning to taste.
  • pour sauce over the pasta bowl, add the cheese to your liking and stir till well coated.
  • Chill for 1 hour -- although this is better the more it ages so can be made a day or two ahead.
  • Note: You will probably have more dressing than you need, I used it as a dip with chips and cheese -- Yummy!

CREAMY VEGETARIAN TACO PASTA SALAD RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Creamy Vegetarian Taco Pasta Salad Recipe - Food.com image

I kinda fudged this recipe while using the stuff in my fridge for a side dish to make and take to a pig roast. I didn't use meat since the pork at the roast was the star of the show, but I'm sure you could cook up some taco flavored beef or chicken to add to this for a heartier salad. You can also adjust the temp of the salsa or use spicy taco seasoning to add a little more heat (I used medium since the kids were eating it and no one complained).

Total Time 20 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces spiral shaped pasta
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup salsa
1 (1 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (8 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
chopped lettuce, for serving
Doritos or regular tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. When done, drain and rinse with cold water to stop it from cooking further.
  • While the pasta is cooking, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning and salsa in a medium sized bowl.
  • Place cooked pasta in a large bowl (I used the bowl that I am going to use to serve it) and add corn, black beans, and olives (if using). Stir to combine.
  • If serving immediately, go to the next step. If you are making ahead of time, cover the pasta mixture and sauce mixture in their separate bowls and keep in the fridge overnight or until you are ready to serve it (plus, this seems to make the sauce taste better).
  • About a half hour before serving (but probably not more than 2 hours before), add the shredded cheese to the pasta mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour the sauce mixture overall and stir until well coated.
  • Serve with shredded lettuce and Doritos or tortilla chips to crush over the top of the salad. You can also stir these items in, but they get soggy and don't make for great leftovers.
