Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in ziti and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.

- Combine salsa, cream cheese, and taco seasoning in a saucepan over low heat: cook until cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine ziti, chicken, salsa mixture, black beans, corn, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Add 8 ounces Cheddar cheese; mix until combined. Pour into a baking pan.

Steps:
- Heat the broiler to high. Combine the chili powder, cumin and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and chili powder mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until the chicken just starts to change color and the spices are toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the peppers and onions and cook until they just begin to release some of their juices, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the pasta and 2 1/2 cups water to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it comes to a boil, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until melted. Sprinkle the pepper jack and crushed chips over the top. Transfer to the broiler and cook until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning over the chicken and toss to coat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over a high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add half of the chicken in a single layer. Allow the chicken to brown, about 1 minute, before turning and cooking for an additional minute. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining chicken and repeat.
- Add the remaining tablespoon each butter and olive oil to the same skillet. When the butter has melted, add the garlic, peppers, onions and mushrooms, then cook, getting as much color on the vegetables as possible, for 1 minute. Remove the vegetables to a plate.
- With the skillet still over high heat, add the chicken stock and tequila to deglaze; allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, then sprinkle the remaining tablespoon fajita seasoning into the sauce. Stir in the cream and adobo sauce. Allow to cook, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. (The sauce should have a good amount of heat to it.)
- Finally, add the chicken and vegetables back to the skillet. Add the pasta and the tomatoes, then toss to combine. Cook for a couple more minutes until everything is heated through. Top with the chopped cilantro and chow down.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large shallow casserole or frying pan. Add the chicken and fry for 5 mins over a medium heat until golden all over. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Put the onion and peppers in the same pan and fry over a medium heat for 8-10 mins. Add the garlic, dried herbs and spices and cook for 1 min. Add the tomato purée and cook for 2 mins. Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the cream, stirring to combine. Season to taste.
- Cook the pasta following pack instructions, then drain and reserve 150ml of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the pan with 50ml of the water and stir everything together over the heat. Add a little more water to loosen if needed. Season to taste and stir through the parsley. Divide between six bowls and top with a little cheese and extra chopped parsley, if you like. This can be packed into a lunchbox and eaten cold, too.
