COWBOY CAVIAR

Cowboy Caviar image

Black beans absorb other flavors superbly, so try to leave this for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the different flavors to blend together.

COWBOY CAVIAR QUESADILLAS

Cowboy Caviar Quesadillas image

Cowboy caviar is a wonderful appetizer on its own, which I often serve with tortilla chips in place of salsa. But when combined in a cheesy quesadilla ... it's next level!

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the grill
2 to 3 ears fresh corn, husked
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 to 3 avocados, diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped or 1/2 container cherry tomatoes, quartered
2/3 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
Safflower oil or other neutral oil with a high smoke point, for frying
2 cups freshly grated pepper jack cheese

Steps:

For the cowboy caviar: Preheat a grill pan over high heat or prepare a grill for high heat and oil the grill grates. Place the corn on the grill pan or grill and cook, turning, until charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut off the kernels and put in a medium bowl. Add the black beans, avocado, cilantro, tomatoes and scallions.
Put the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and whisk together. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss until coated. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
For quesadillas: Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Flip and top one side of each tortilla in this order: 1/4 cup cheese, a healthy helping of cowboy caviar and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortilla is lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Cut into wedges and serve with more cowboy caviar. Enjoy!
