Ingredients

• 1 13.5 oz. box of any Pasta you like (I used whole wheat rotini)
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 1 medium green bell pepper cut into thin strips
• 1/2 medium red onion, sliced
• 1 15 oz. can Rotel canned tomatoes and chilies
• 1/4 cup taco seasoning
• 1 tsp. salt (if the taco seasoning you use contains a lot of salt, you may want to reduce this)
• 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cups fat-free chicken (or vegetable) broth
• 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup Mexican cheese blend, plus more for topping (Optional)

Directions

1. Add all but the last 2 ingredients (beans and cheese) to a large pot. Stir, cover, and bring to a rolling boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. There should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot when it is done.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in the black beans and cheese (optional). Let it rest for 5 minutes to warm the beans, melt the cheese, and absorb the excess liquid
