I came across this really good Chicken Taco Pasta recipe (makes 4 servings) while doing a Google search. I remember trying some during an outing with my childhood friend and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did:

INGRDIENTS:
* 1 pound organic ground chicken
* 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 3 Tbs. favorite taco seasoning
* 1 (14.5 oz) can drained and rinsed navy beans (or kidneys depending on preference)
* 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
* 1 ear fresh corn
* 1 roma tomato, diced
* 2 cups pasta shells
* 4 oz (half a block) cream cheese
* 2 Tbs. greek yogurt
* 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
* coarse salt and pepper (season to taste)

DIRECTIONS:

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook until browned all over, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and taco seasoning. Sauté 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the beans, corn and diced green chiles. Toss to combine and continue to cook another 5 minutes. Add the diced tomato and toss to combine.

In the meantime, cook your pasta shells until firm. Reserve about 1/3 cup pasta water and drain the rest. Add the shells, cream cheese and yogurt to the skillet. Toss to combine.

Add some of the pasta water to thin out the sauce if it’s a little too thick for your taste. Season accordingly and serve with lots of fresh cilantro.
