Steps:
- Add all of the Creamy Salsa Dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and "chop" then puree until smooth, scraping sides down as needed. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
- Cook Tortellini in generously salted water just until al dente according to package directions (do NOT overcook - we don't want soggy tortellini). Rinse tortellini in cool water and add to a large serving bowl. Add. corn, bell pepper, tomatoes, black beans, red onion and half of the dressing. Gently toss. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- When ready to serve, add avocado, bacon, cheese and the desired amount of dressing to the salad (you may not use all it) and gently toss to combine. Add additional dressing if needed so its nice and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper and hot sauce if desired.
