Cowboy Caviar


Perhaps that picture looks unappetizing to you? I assure you, Cowboy Caviar esta mui bueno. This is my grandma's recipe and I've brought it to several pot luck functions. It's pretty cheap to make and kind of impressive. You can also add to and take away whatever you want since you don't have to cook anything.

Behold:
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 avocado, chopped
2-3 roma tomatoes, chopped
green onion, chopped, 3 Tish
cilantro, chopped 2 tish
2 T. Red wine vinegar
hot sauce, about 2 t.
salt
pepper
garlic, 2 cloves minced
2-3 T olive oil

Combine the olive oil, vinegar, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Stir. Add avocado and toss to coat. Add everything else. When I do this in tupperware, I put the lid on once everything is in and just turn it upside down a few times to coat without massacring the avocado.

Taste it and see if it needs more salt or hot sauce. I usually end up adding more of both.

Enjoy with those mini-scoopy tortilla chips.
