I sit thinking about what to say about a dish called Cowboy caviar.
My question is just WHY?
Why is it called that?
It's a Texas thing. That's what they say.
I can't explain, it's really just veggies, beans and some seasoning. It has nothing to do with caviar at all, and nothing about it resembles it whatsoever.
Whatever. I think i like this cowboy, yes I do.
Kind of a side salad, and kind of dip/salsa for chips. You decide. No rules.
Makes a big bowl
Ingredients
1 can black beans, drained
1 can pinto beans,
drained (or white cannelli beans)
1 can corn,
drained or use 1 1/2 cups of fresh corn
1 avocado, diced (optional)
2 roma tomatoes,
diced OR 1 cup cheery tomatoes, quartered
1/2 red onion, diced
1-2
jalapeƱo, seeded and finely diced1-2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt & pepper to taste
Dump everything together in a big bowl. Add seasonings and mix. Let chill for 1-2 hours to help flavors develop even more. Serve with Chips
Note- I used the leftovers of this and added it to chicken stock with shredded chicken and chopped corn torillas and made a great Chicken Tortilla Soup.
