INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 ounce) can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 cup corn
• 1 avocado, diced
• 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Toss until well combined.
2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

TIPS:

• For a spicier cowboy caviar, add more jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• If you don't like jalapeño, you can omit it altogether.
• For a creamier cowboy caviar, add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to each serving.
• Cowboy caviar is also delicious served on top of grilled chicken, fish, or steak.

VARIATIONS:

• Add in other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or carrots.
• Top with crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese for a salty and tangy flavor.
• Add a splash of hot sauce or your favorite barbecue sauce for a bit of extra heat.
• Serve with pita bread or naan bread for a scooping vessel.

Enjoy! 😋😋
