Directions
Tex Mex Fusilli, This is a family favourite that comes from an old Milk Calandar. Even DH, who doesn’t like anything tex-mex raves about this one. I always make it with the ham, but the if you have left over chicken, I bet it would be just as good., This got mixed reviews at our house. I liked it but no one else did. I followed the recipe as written but it seemed a bit bland so I ended up adding the whole jar of salsa. I thought this helped but still no one else liked it. Made for Spring PAC 2012, This was the perfect way to use leftover diced ham. I had already exhausted the other possible dinner options, so decided to give this a try. And so glad I did. My hubby and I agreed that it was missing a little something but not enough to keep us from looking forward to the leftovers. Maybe something to give it a little more “kick” and we did use medium salsa to begin with…maybe more salsa, or cheese, some hot sauce or red pepper flakes? Any or even all of the above would probably put it right at the perfect-o mark. Also, I was a little worried about the green onions, but they were a great addition. Love this recipe!
