Delicious Cowboy Caviar Recipe

I love to eat. Tacos and Appetizers are two of my favorites.  Top that taco with some delicious cowboy caviar, and my day has been made.  (Or put some in a bowl with tortilla chips as an appetizer – I’m not picky!)

This recipe for cowboy caviar may also be known as corn and black bean pico de gallo.  I honestly had never called it cowboy caviar until moving to Texas!

This is great for bringing to parties, potluck dinners and girl’s night out events.  You can make it the day before because it’s always better when the flavors meld together!  Then, add a bag of tortilla chips and you’re set!
