Ingredients
- 1 box Dreamfields Rotini
- 2 tablespoons avocado, olive or vegetable oil
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced (about 1/2-inch)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper (about 1/4-inch)
- 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1-1/2 cups cherry tomatoes quartered

- 2 medium avocados (approximately 1 pound total)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions; set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat avocado oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, cumin, paprika, onion and bell pepper. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in corn, tomatoes and black beans. Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, stirring frequently.
