Enchilada Pasta





I look for new recipes all the time. I found this one from another blogspot. But I changed the recipe drastically so this one is my own. This was so good. Who would think Mexican and pasta mixed, no really it was good! I will make it over and over...

Ingredients 
1 box penne pasta
2tbsp olive oil
1 onion diced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 red pepper, diced
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded
1 4 oz can diced green chilies
1tsp cumin
2tsp chili powder
1/2tsp garlic salt
2tbsp chopped cilantro
2 10-oz cans green chili enchilada sauce
1 15oz can black beans, drained
2c shredded cheese
1c sour cream
Toppings are so yummy chopped avocados, green onions, black olives, diced tomatoes, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Directions
Boil pasta to al dente   heat the olive oil in large skillet and cook onions for about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add cooked chicken, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, salt, cilantro, enchilada sauces and black beans. Let sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes.  Add cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and heated through. Add sour cream and while cooking on low heat, stir constantly until sour cream is well mixed and heated through, without letting it boil. Drain pasta and return to pot. Pour sauce over pasta and mix well.
