Cowboy Caviar with Tortilla Chips

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 can Black-eyed peas
• 1 cup Corn
• 1 Bell pepper
• 1 Lime
• 2 cups Tortilla chips

Steps

1. Drain and rinse the black-eyed peas under cold running water until the water runs clear.
2. If using frozen corn, thaw it under warm running water, then pat dry. Wet corn waters down the dressing.
3. Dice the bell pepper small, about the size of the peas, so every scoop gets a bit of everything.
4. Toss the peas, corn, and pepper with the lime juice, a generous glug of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
5. Rest 10 minutes at room temperature. The lime brightens everything as it sits and the flavors meld.
6. Taste and adjust: it should taste bright and punchy, not flat. Add more salt or lime as needed.
7. Serve with sturdy tortilla chips that won{Q}t snap under the weight of a loaded scoop.
