Southwest Pasta Salad I've eaten this salad several times and it just gets better. A can of drained wk corn can be used, and in a pinch, dried cilanatro will work. Since I can't eat pepper jack cheese, I use either sharp cheddar or four cheese Mexican blend. The blend seems to be a bit toned down from the cheddar. If you have to sub, then do so for your own family's taste, of course. No recipes are written in stone; they are, however, great building blocks. Sometimes you get one so good in it's original form, that no changes are called for. That's a good thing! Off my soap box now. I hope anyone else who tries this recipe will enjoy it as much as I do.

Corn Pocket Rolls To zip these rolls up a bit, try adding a teaspoon or so of chili powder, to your taste. They would be a good addition to a Tex-Mex or Southwestern meal, in my opinion.
