Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, combine salsa, mayonnaise, sour cream, and bell pepper in a large bowl. Add black beans, corn, olives, green onions, salt, garlic powder, cumin, cilantro, and pepper; whisk until well combined.
Step 3
Drain pasta, then rinse under cold running water until completely cooled. Drain again thoroughly.
Step 4
Add cooled pasta to the salsa-vegetable mixture and stir until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours before serving.
