Roasted Corn, Black Bean, Tomato & Onion Tex-Mex Farfelle Recipe

Filed Under: BLOG, Dinner Recipes, Recipes Tagged With: , , , , , , ,

Ever try a new recipe from only ingredients you have in your own pantry?

I have and readily admit, I love to try new recipe especially with different ingredients I may have in my house at any given time.

Unfortunately time isn’t always there for me to try new, especially now that school has indeed begun here and summer is over.

However recently, I did get a night where I had extra time a few days before we started school again this year.

[Tweet “#friday night #recipe for roasted #corn #blackbean, tomato Oinion #mexican #pasta now!”]

On this night, I hadn’t defrosted any chicken or other meat for the dinner.  So, it looked like a pasta night for sure.  But I had just had pizza the night before and didn’t want a traditional Italian type pasta and was actually craving something more along the lines of a Mexican dish.

To be quite honest if I am not eating pasta, then you will probably find me eating or making some form of Mexican cuisine like I shared here.

So, I took a quick glance in my refrigerator and remembered we had bought some corn on the cob that past weekend.

It took me all of two minutes to decide to cut the corn off the cob, grill and roast it in skillet on my stove to make make a roasted corn, black bean, diced tomato & onion salsa to put over my farfelle (bow-tie pasta).

    That sounds yummy and you know what else? My husband and I just started the Zone Diet this week (it was a summer of too much eating and drinking wine!) and I think this recipe might qualify, except for maybe the pasta. Even so, chances are we’ll be cheating on this diet by next week. 🙂

    Wow! I am seriously hungry now and it’s midnight here! LOL. It’s so overwhelming when you create something from what’s in your kitchen, you feel a sense of fulfillment. Hope I can try this in the future and thanks for sharing Janine! 🙂

    This looks delicious Janine. I love the combination of texture and flavors. Sounds great for a quick evening meal. I can relate to looking in the fridge to throw something together. That’s my normal 🙂 Thanks for coming by Foodie Fridays and sharing your recipe. Have a wonderful weekend.
    Blessings,
    Shari

    OoOO I bet these flavors were so yummy! I am loving Mexican a lot these days myself. I’m eating nachos with beef and cheddar cheese right now! 🙂 I definitely make up recipes based on what we have quite often, too.

    Congrats on making it into the Top 10! The Tex Mex recipe sounds yummy and I might try some variation of it. I’m not too big on tomatoes (mainly because they don’t like me!). Have a good weekend and love to all……xxxxxooooo
