Mexican Fiesta Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (16 ounce) package dried rotini pasta
    1 1/2 cups medium chunky salsa
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn with red and green peppers, drained
    1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
    2 green onions, sliced thin
    1 (4.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
    1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro, or to taste
    1 teaspoon salt
    ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil; cook the rotini in the boiling water until the pasta is cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until completely cooled; drain thoroughly.
    Whisk the salsa, mayonnaise, sour cream, black beans, Mexican-style corn, red bell pepper, green onions, black olives, garlic powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; add the cooled pasta and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight before serving.
