In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, add ground beef, garlic powder and 3 tablespoons of salsa. Cook until the meat is browned (about 8 to 10 minutes).
Place the beef in a bowl and let it cool.
Add the cooked pasta to a large salad bowl. Add the beef mixture, tomatoes, red pepper, green onion, cilantro and cheddar cheese. Mix to combine.
Add the rest of the olive oil, salsa, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir until everything is combined. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve cold.
