Everyday Menus: Tex Mex Chicken Pasta Salad

I love pasta salads with chicken, and Tex Mex flavors. So I put them together in this easy, colorful, and delicious main dish salad. You can use leftover chicken or turkey in place of the precooked packaged variety to save a few bucks. And use the veggies that look best in the market. All you need with this salad is some homemade flatbread hot from the oven and some lemonade spiced with a bit of ginger. Yum.
