Chicken Taco Pasta Salad is perfect for lunch or as an addition to your next Taco Tuesday menu.

Chicken Taco Pasta Salad

Whether you’re in need of a simple lunch or a lighter dinner recipe to beat the heat this summer, you can’t go wrong with this Chicken Taco Pasta Salad. I love a good cold pasta salad for when the days are long and hot, Florida in the summer isn’t for the faint of heart. One of my favorite pasta salads is this Chicken Asparagus Pasta Salad and I also love this Primavera Pasta Salad.

Today I wanted to share my newest pasta salad obsession, Chicken Taco Pasta Salad. Mini Farfalle Pasta, shredded chicken, black beans, corn, tomato, shredded cheese and cilantro are tossed in a creamy taco dressing, top it with some crushed tortilla chips and dig in! I hope you enjoy it too and have a happy June!
