It looks and smells amazing let you know in 2 hours how it taste lol....
ok it has not been 2 hours but I couldn't wait any longer ...IF YOU TRY ANY NEW FOOD THIS YEAR MAKE IT THIS !
I will try to remember step by step how I made it ( even my hubby liked it and he is super picky )
remember when I get an idea in my crazy brain I surf the web and find a million different recipes to get a general idea and then make it all work.
For this one my base recipe was
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/texas-caviar-i/Detail.aspx
this is how I made it
1/2 a yellow onion
1 Yellow bell pepper ( because it was pretty )
2 green onions
2 fresh jalapenos seeded
about a tablespoon minced garlic ( I use the one in the jar )
1 can Rotell tomatoes and green chili DRAINED ( I used the walmart brand mild )
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed )
abut 2 handfuls of frozen black eye peas
2 handfuls frozen sweet corn
1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing
avocado
cilantro
chop the onion,bell pepper,green onions,jalapenos and put in a bowl ( I chopped as small as I could because I like a little of everything in each bite ) add garlic can of Rotell tomatoes with green chili, black beans. black eyed peas and corn. I then added the Italian dressing and let it sit covered for 2 hours ( I know I know I could not wait that long )
after tasting it and seeing the bag of avocado on the counter I diced up 2 and threw them in with some salt and chopped cilantro
Changes I would make ...maybe use the medium Rotell for a little heat and try hard to keep it away from me so I don't eat the whole bowl !
Enjoy let me know if you make it or are going to make it :0)
