I saw a version of this dish posted all over TikTok so I thought I’d film it myself. There are many variations of cowboy caviar and the dish below is my own! I made it for a large group and served it with burgers, hot dogs, and popcorn. Yum! I forgot to take a picture before we devoured it, that’s part of the recognition for its deliciousness.
Although there were quite a few ingredients (and a lot of chopping), I kept my variation as simple as possible. I opted for canned corn instead of fresh, spiced with spicy honey and crushed red peppers (instead of finely chopped chilies), and made it super easy with a “sauce” that didn’t even require pre-mixing. in a separate bowl.
If you make this recipe, I’d love to know what you think!

Cooking utensil
Direction
Place the peppers, onion, corn and beans in a large mixing bowl and stir everything together. Add chopped mango and chopped avocado, then stir well. (We ate this on the same day I made it, but if you’re keeping it in the fridge for several days, I recommend adding fresh butter to each portion just before serving!) Add the feta cheese and stir well. combine.
Add the lime juice, some spicy honey (I use the organic spicy honey sauce from Trader Joe’s!), and the crushed red pepper, to taste. Mix everything together well, then taste and adjust if needed, to your personal taste.
Enjoy with tortilla chips, use in salads, or add to banh tet or banh cuon. Basically, eat it any way you want!
