#DollarGeneralPartner crushing those new year goals starts in the kitchen! This family-friendly dinner is great for busy nights or for a grab-and-go lunch option throughout the week. Thanks @dollargeneral for helping us stay on track with this delicious taco pasta and of course helping us save some money while we do it!
Southwestern Pasta Salad Recipe:
- Pasta of choice (protein pasta works great here)
- A container of Clover Valley cottage cheese
- Ranch seasoning packet
- 1/3 taco seasoning packet
- Clover Valley black beans (drained and rinsed)
- Clover Valley corn (drained and rinsed)
- Can of rotel
- Chicken of choice (I used frozen to keep it simple and quick)
- Clover Valley pepperjack cheese
Start by making your protein ranch which will be the entire container of cottage cheese, ranch seasoning packet, and about 1/3 of the taco seasoning packet. Blend until smooth (if it’s thick you can thin it out by adding small amounts of milk and blending until you reach desired consistency). Cook chicken according to package directions and boil pasta. Assemble pasta, corn, beans, rotel, chopped chicken, and cheese into lunch containers and serve with protein ranch. I paired our quick meal prep lunches with Greek yogurt and kettle chips.
