  • 1 ts Chili powder

  • 1 c Minced parsley
  • 6 tb Picante or barbecue sauce
  • 1 c Grated Cheddar cheese
  • Shredded lettuce (opt'l.)

 Directions

*Original recipe called for 1 c. red onions but I thought the taste was too
strong.

**Original recipe called for 2 c. tomatoes.

Add tortellini to a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Boil for
about 25 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain.

Mix all above ingredients, except Cheddar cheese and lettuce. Add
tortellini; toss well. Chill; marinate 2 to 4 hours. Sprinkle with Cheddar
cheese. Serve on bed of shredded lettuce (opt'l. - I just served as is).

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
