Snacks from the Wild West

Caviar is an expensive snack that some people like to serve on little squares of toast. Real caviar is made from salt-cured fish eggs.

Sometimes people make a dip called Cowboy Caviar that is made with corn and beans instead of fish eggs. They might use the name Cowboy Caviar because cowboys on cattle drives were known to eat both canned and dried beans.

I like to call my recipe Cowboy Chips and Dip. This recipe is also good on a tortilla or mixed with lettuce as a salad.

So come on, Pardner, let’s make some Cowboy Chips and Dip!
