Directions Chicken Fajita Pasta Bake
Directions
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in ziti and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion and green pepper. Cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes, remove from skillet. Place chicken into the skillet, cook and stir until no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes.
Combine salsa, cream cheese, and taco seasoning in a saucepan over low heat: cook until cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine ziti, chicken, salsa mixture, black beans, corn, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Add 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, mix until combined. Pour into a baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, top with remaining Cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
