Drain the cooked macaroni and immediately add mayonnaise while the pasta is still hot, allowing it to absorb the creamy sauce. Begin with about one cup of mayo.

Transfer the mixture to another bowl and add the remaining mayonnaise.
3
Add garlic powder, ground cumin, Mexican oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to season.
4
Mix in roasted corn, roasted green chiles (canned or fresh Anaheim/Hatch chiles), chopped purple onion, and chopped pickled jalapeños along with some of the vinegar juice.

Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the mayo is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
