Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1.5 limes (zested and juiced)
  • 6.7 oz rotini pasta
  • 2.5 cups corn
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder

  3. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and cook until it begins to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of chili powder and remove from heat.
  4. Add the cooked rotini, corn, shredded chicken, cotija cheese, and cilantro to the bowl with the yogurt mixture. Gently stir until everything is well coated.
