Best Texas Caviar And Frito Scoops Recipes

TEXAS CAVIAR

Texas Caviar image

I see many versions of this recipe on JAP. This one is unique in that the dressing is cooked and cooled. I have made other types to save time with the premade dressing, but this one wins out every time. This recipe has been in our summer get togethers for many years at the cabin "up north." I forgot about it and came across it...

DRESSING
1 c sugar
2 c oil ( i use olive oil)
1 c apple cider vinegar
VEGETABLES
1 large green pepper
1 large red pepper
1 large yellow pepper
1 large orange pepper
1 bunch green onion ( cut up into the green part)
2 can(s) black beans, drain and rinse
2 can(s) pinto beans, drain and rinse
2 can(s) white shoepeg corn

Steps:

1. Boil and stir sugar, oil and vinegar just until sugar is dissolved and liquid is clear. Cool.
2. Wash, dry and seed out all the peppers. Then dice them and put into a large bowl.
3. Dice green onions and cut up into the greens part way. I Don't use the last 1/3 of the tops.
4. Add the drained and rinsed beans and corn to the diced peppers. Gently stir the beans and corn into the peppers.
5. Pour cooled dressing over all and mix gently. Cover tightly. Refrigerate overnight. The next day drain off liquid of the amount you will serve.
6. Drain off only what you will use. The rest will keep up to a week in the fridge.
7. Serve with Frito scoops or Tostito scoops. This is a beautiful appetizer and oh so good. I have also added some cooked and cooled pasta for a change of pace and that was also very good!

TEXAS CAVIAR

Up your snack game with this quick and colorful recipe for Texas caviar that can be a dip, salad topping, taco filling and more. My family has always gone for the rainbow version, sneaking in veggies of every color to round out the bowl. Jalapeno provides a kick, but you can remove the seeds or omit it altogether for less heat.

TEXAS CAVIAR DIP

Texas Caviar Dip image

I've seen other versions titled the same, but this one is by far my favorite. A fellow flight attendant shared it with me YEARS ago. I hate it I can't remember her name. It's quick and easy, and I always get requests for it. Depending on what you serve it with, it's a healthy, high fiber snack!

Yield 3-4 Cups, 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Mexican-style corn, drained
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juice of

Steps:

Rinse the black beans thoroughly to keep dip from looking "muddy".
Dump beans and corn into bowl.
Squeeze in the juice from the lime.
Add cilantro to taste.
Chill.
I think this dip is best served cold with Frito Scoops. You could also serve it with other chips, crackers, or tortillas, but I've seen people eat it with nothing but a spoon! It is best when made the day before, but it certainly doesn't have to be.
