Chicken Enchilada Pasta Salad Recipe
This flavorful chicken pasta salad recipe wouldn’t be complete without my fave ingredients. OF COURSE! Taco seasoning is my jam in so many recipes, and Red Enchilada Sauce is my favorite way to add some subtle and creamy spice to any recipe. It’s not too spicy, but a little flavor goes a long way. Absolute perfection, Tex Mex at its finest! That enchilada sauce is what really brings this Mexican pasta salad to the next level. It really makes it taste just like you’re eating chicken enchiladas! Such a great party dish for summer BBQs or Sunday get togethers. Some quick tips to change things up:
Use Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream to make it a little bit healthier. You can also use less cheese or omit it completely if you prefer. If you want to make it spicier (YES PLEASE!), add chopped jalapeños and just a dash of hot sauce.
There’s so much room to make this dish your own, but it will be so good no matter what!
