Black beans absorb other flavors superbly, so try to leave this for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the different flavors to blend together.

SO SIMPLE COWBOY CAVIAR



So Simple Cowboy Caviar image

Had this at a potluck picnic and it was wonderful. I sought out the woman who made it and got the recipe. The secret is to drain it before serving so it isn't swimming in dressing. Serve with tortilla chips. I use cider vinegar but feel free to use white, red, raspberry or any other flavor of your choice. Can sizes are given for the current commonly available sizes in the US. Adjust ingredients for your taste. Times do not include marinate or draining time.

COWBOY CAVIAR PASTA SALAD



Cowboy Caviar Pasta Salad image

The popular, Texas-inspired cowboy caviar can take the form of dip, garnish, side dish and more, but in this recipe, it becomes a complete meal, and one that's much better than anything you'd find in the grocer's deli case. Packed with vegetables, beans and pasta, and dressed in a light and tangy dressing, it's flavorful, fresh and hearty enough to feed the whole family. And it comes in at a great price, since it can be made with leftover rotisserie chicken and seasonal vegetables-although frozen and canned work well, too! In the summertime, this cold salad is perfect dinner on a sticky night and a guaranteed potluck hit. Even better, it's easily made ahead. So next time you're in the kitchen, why not put on a pot of water to boil. With a few minutes of chopping, you can rustle up tonight's-or tomorrow's-dinner!

COWBOY CAVIAR QUESADILLAS



Cowboy Caviar Quesadillas image

Cowboy caviar is a wonderful appetizer on its own, which I often serve with tortilla chips in place of salsa. But when combined in a cheesy quesadilla ... it's next level!

Provided by Jaymee Sire

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the grill
2 to 3 ears fresh corn, husked
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 to 3 avocados, diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped or 1/2 container cherry tomatoes, quartered
2/3 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
Safflower oil or other neutral oil with a high smoke point, for frying
2 cups freshly grated pepper jack cheese

Steps:

  • For the cowboy caviar: Preheat a grill pan over high heat or prepare a grill for high heat and oil the grill grates. Place the corn on the grill pan or grill and cook, turning, until charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut off the kernels and put in a medium bowl. Add the black beans, avocado, cilantro, tomatoes and scallions.
  • Put the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and whisk together. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss until coated. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
  • For quesadillas: Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Flip and top one side of each tortilla in this order: 1/4 cup cheese, a healthy helping of cowboy caviar and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortilla is lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Cut into wedges and serve with more cowboy caviar. Enjoy!

COWBOY CAVIAR

This is my favorite fresh veggie chunky salsa/dip ever. In college my roommate's mother gave us this recipe from the Oklahoma newspaper and we haven't stopped making it since.

Provided by suzydues

Categories     Beans

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (11 ounce) can white shoepeg corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
2 -3 roma tomatoes
2/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 -2 avocado
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic (minced, chopped, whatever)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup garlic red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Mix all dressing ingredients together and set aside.
  • Mix all veggies together in a large bowl.
  • Add dressing and mix together well.
  • If you can wait, give the mixture an hour or so for the flavors to really come out. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. But it's delicious to eat straight away too.
  • Note: I rarely use the exact ingredient amounts. It's good to substitute black or red beans for the pinto beans or to use regular corn for shoepeg. I've used red wine vinegar in place of garlic red wine vinegar as well. You can even add hot sauce if you like spicy. I always double the recipe (but not necessarily the dressing) and eat on it for days. It's good in burritos, pitas, or on top salads, anything really. It's a very flexible recipe.

COLORFUL COWBOY CAVIAR



Colorful Cowboy Caviar image

This is a great make-ahead dip and a welcome change from the basic cheese and sour cream type dips that show up a every gathering. The nice thing is the longer it marinates, the better it gets. Frees up your time for other dishes. It's also a very "forgiving" recipe...get creative and add or delete vegetables to suit your taste. I particularly like to serve this with Fritos but again, choose the chip of your choice. :-)
