Pasta salads are so perfect for Summer time barbecues and pot lucks! I thought creating one with some Mexican flair would be absolutely delicious, and it was!
This Fiesta Chicken Pasta Salad is bursting with flavor. Tender pasta and chicken are mixed with taco seasoning, ranch dressing, corn, black beans and more. I let it chill in the fridge for about 4 hours and then served it at our 4th of July party. It was a big hit! I was hoping to bring home the leftovers, but there wasn’t any left!
This incredible Fiesta Chicken Pasta Salad is going to become your new favorite pasta salad. The only suggestion I make is to plan in advance because it does call for pre-cooked chicken. A rotisserie chicken would be perfect for this!
Also, I suggest doubling the recipe if you’re serving a large crowd. Every one is going to want in on this yummy dish!

This looks really good! I wish we had these creams available in Canada. (Our FDA takes far too long on approving food … I remember having to drive across the boarder just to get 0 fat cream cheese).
Ack! I was just trying to find a good pasta salad recipe for my boss’s cookout this weekend. Perfect, thank you so much!!
