Recipe Summary Tex-Mex Pasta Salad
I first made this for my husband to take for a guy's skiing weekend. He didn't want a 'girlie' pasta salad, so this one has taco beef and cheese. Very hearty, and a big hit with all the guys. I have since brought it to a family reunion....now they request it every year!Ingredients | Rexford Guy Tugwell Biografia2 tablespoons olive oil1 teaspoon salt1 (16 ounce) package fusilli pasta2 pounds extra lean ground beef1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix1 (24 ounce) jar mild salsa1 (8 ounce) bottle ranch dressing1 ½ red bell peppers, chopped6 green onions, chopped¾ cup chopped pickled jalapeno peppers1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives (Optional)1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheeseDirectionsFill a large pot with water; pour in the olive oil and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the fusilli, and return to a boil.
