Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Tortellini (I used cheese)
1 c Olive oil
3/4 c White wine vinegar
1/2 ts Pepper
2 Garlic cloves; minced
1 ts Chili powder
1 ts Dry mustard
1 ts Paprika
1/2 ts Cumin
1 ts Salt
1 ds Tabasco (to taste)
1 c Diced green peppers
3/4 c Diced red onions*
2 1/2 c Chopped tomatoes**
1 c Minced parsley
6 tb Picante or barbecue sauce
1 c Grated Cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce (opt'l.)

*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.
