COWBOY CAVIAR QUESADILLAS

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!

COWBOY CAVIAR

Steps:

• Mix all dressing ingredients together and set aside.
• Mix all veggies together in a large bowl.
• Add dressing and mix together well.
• If you can wait, give the mixture an hour or so for the flavors to really come out. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. But it's delicious to eat straight away too.
• Note: I rarely use the exact ingredient amounts. It's good to substitute black or red beans for the pinto beans or to use regular corn for shoepeg. I've used red wine vinegar in place of garlic red wine vinegar as well. You can even add hot sauce if you like spicy. I always double the recipe (but not necessarily the dressing) and eat on it for days. It's good in burritos, pitas, or on top salads, anything really. It's a very flexible recipe.
