Cowboy Caviar or Avocado Salsa is pretty much a crowd pleaser! It’s packed full of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet corn, black beans, juicy lime juice and spicy jalapeños if you want! It’s all tossed together with a flavorful dressing and best served with tortilla chips.
If you are looking for more yummy appetizer or dips I have you covered! My Jalapeno Ranch Dip is a great copy cat version of Chuy’s. Then if you are a fan of avocados you have to make my Easy Guacamole. Once of my most popular recipes is most definitely Cheesy Artichoke Dip. It’s perfect with baguettes, veggies or tortilla chips! If your looking for a yummy dinner idea with similar a flavor profile you can make this Mexican Beef Rice Skillet from Grits and Pinecones.
