Cowboy’s Caviar

I love to entertain and I have instilled that love for entertaining into my tween daughter who often holds movie nights or get togethers at our house.  Unlike her I do not like serving chips with store bought dip.  I do like salsa or that wonderful cheese dip that I can eat by spoonfulls but I just like to pretend to make a nicer dip even though most of the ingredients came from a can and it only took about 5 minutes to make.  It makes me feel all grown up.

You will need 2 ripe avocados, 2 ripe tomatoes, bunch of cilantro, one can (15.25oz) sweet corn drained, one can (14.5 oz) of pinto beans drained and washed (no one wants the bean slime), 1/2 cup of salsa.  These are regular size cans but they just make them different sizes to confuse us or at least me.

Array

Chop up the cilantro by first rolling it into a log then cutting into strips.

Array

Remove the pit from the avocados by inserting whacking it with a knife.

Array

Slice it into squares and

Array

remove the skin.

Array

Next up.  The tomato.  Quarted each of those.

Array

Remove the seeds.

Array

then chop it up into square pieces, well about square pieces.

Array

when ready throw all the ingredients  into the bowl and gently toss together trying not  to break the avocado.

Array

mix in 1/2 cup of favorite salsa, I use mild just in case but you can use super douper hot one.

Array

Serve it with some corn chips, or even by itself.  Open wide… ahhhh
