Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb uncooked medium pasta shells
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 bunch thinly sliced green onions, greens and whites separated
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can (11 oz) whole kernel sweet corn, drained
  • 2 cups finely chopped deli rotisserie chicken
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, lime wedges and sour cream, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    In large colander, rinse and drain uncooked pasta. In 4-quart saucepan, mix pasta, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, water, green onion whites and chili powder. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 14 to 16 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender; do not drain.
  • 2
    Stir in beans, corn and chicken; return to simmering. Cook 2 minutes longer to combine flavors. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
  • 3
    Top with green onion greens. Serve with cilantro, lime wedges and sour cream.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Rinsing the dry pasta removes extra starch from the shells, which keeps this one-pot wonder from becoming too thick during cooking.
  • tip 2
    Like it hot? Swap medium enchilada sauce for the mild, or substitute pepper Jack for the Cheddar cheese.
