Insanely delicious and easy. A very pretty dish too, so colorful. WARNING, this is highly addictive! Everyone asks me for this recipe. Served best with those "scoop" shaped tortilla chips. This is a very forgiving recipe - you can use whatever peppers, beans, onions, etc... you prefer. I sometimes add tomato as well.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. Look for avocados that are dark green or black and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for Mexican caviar because they are firm and have a low water content. You can also use grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes.
  • Dice the vegetables finely: This will help the Mexican caviar to have a more uniform texture.
  • Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the Mexican caviar. You can also use lemon juice, but it will not have the same flavor.
  • Season to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and then add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Garnish with cilantro: Cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the Mexican caviar. You can also use other herbs, such as parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Mexican caviar is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a side dish, or even a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a healthy and refreshing snack or a flavorful addition to your next party, Mexican caviar is sure to please.
