can of corn	1/2

a tomato	1 PC.
Bell pepper	1 PC.
onions (sweet or red)	1/2 cup

Cooking method

• I really like Tex-Mex, Tex-Mex, a local variation of American cuisine in the Southwest United States, in which the products available in the United States are combined with Mexican culinary traditions.
• This caviar is more of a salad in our understanding, it can be eaten both independently and as a side dish. The dish turns out to be vegetarian (lean), but no less tasty from this. Products can be combined, instead of black beans, take any or peas, sometimes I add a stalk of celery, but the presence of avocado remains unchanged, it is its buttery silk structure that creates a great taste. This caviar with corn chips or tortilla cakes is very good, you can dry our lavash (thin) - it will not be worse.
• Preparation:
• Drain the beans and rinse with cold boiled water. Drain the corn. Finely chop the tomato, sometimes I take cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Peel and chop the bell peppers (sometimes I take halves of different colors). Put beans, corn, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, chili in a salad bowl. Top with diced avocado. Squeeze the lime juice onto the avocado. Add cilantro, spices, olive oil. Mix gently. Chill in the refrigerator. (An important point, the salad tastes better). This time I didn't have any greens, I cooked them without it. It is not necessary to use chili peppers, just pepper the salad, preferably hot red pepper.
• If you use regular onions, it should be kept in boiling water for about 1-5 minutes, then in ice water. Boiling water will remove bitterness, ice water will restore crispness.
• Bon Appetit!

Rada-dms, thanks, I hope you enjoy it! I love her just like that, and the men in the family eat exclusively with meat, it turns out a side dish.

SanechkaAand I bookmark. I will definitely try. And if you add chili, remove the seeds? Never used it anywhere, it's time to start
And another question) Why wash the beans? Is it somehow important?

[Rick]

Rick, I remove both seeds and veins, it turns out very sharply with them, but if you like "fiery" tastes, you can try adding. And I wash the beans because most often they are in a rather cloudy liquid, a little mealy, even, but if you wash them, they are perfect, shiny and the salad turns out to be more beautiful.
Off topic - you have an unusually beautiful airedale, I also had a girl of this weather, very similar to your handsome one.

SanechkaA, A very interesting dish: girl_cleanglasses: If caviar, can you grind it with a blender? : povar: As a side dish, wonderful, but in the form of caviar: homogeneity is somehow more familiar ..

kuzea, here's a story about how the name of the Texas caviar recipe that Helen Corbitt came up with in the 40s of the last century came about.This delicious salad made from a dozen ingredients can be called universal: it is ideal for a picnic, as an accompaniment to meat, fish or poultry. Initially, it was conceived by the author as a dip, served with large tortilla chips, but later, as they say, the recipe went to the people, where it constantly evolved, became more complicated, simplified, reborn into many different variations. Yes, and the most interesting - where does the name "Texas caviar" come from? This name was not given to the salad immediately, but only a few years later, when it was served to the guests of The Driskill Hotel. Someone joked, comparing finely chopped salad with delicious black caviar, saying that maybe this is her harsh cowboy version! The joke stuck and the name "Texas caviar" (or "cowboy caviar") stuck to the recipe.

SanechkaA, very interesting!

Thanks for answers. In principle, I knew that about pepper. And I put beans in salads without washing. That's why I asked. It seems to me that if you rinse it, part of the taste is “washed off”, it becomes less saturated. But you can try this and that.

Off topic - you have an unusually beautiful airedale, I also had a girl of this weather, very similar to your handsome one.

Thank you Only this is an Irish Terrier, they are often confused, especially on my Ave.) I have two of them)
