Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process, and let it drain again thoroughly. Transfer the cooled pasta to a large pasta bowl.
To the pasta, add the avocado, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the pasta salad. Toss until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Before serving, garnish with more chopped cilantro.
