Charred Corn Fiesta Dip (Cowboy Caviar)

Summer is here! For us, that means time outside, cooking dinners on our Blackstone. Having good friends over and enjoying quality, life-giving fellowship. Fiestas and taco nights and warm breezes under the patio lights. I am a firm believer that some of the best fellowship we can have is around delicious food. I recently worked up this yummy twist on traditional cowboy caviar. I’m dubbing it “Charred corn fiesta dip,” because that roasted, fresh, sweet corn flavor really sets it apart! 

A quick trip to your local produce stand for the freshest ingredients, or just hitting up your neighborhood Walmart will get you all that you need. It is so easy, guys!

Fresh summer vegetables for fiesta dip

Look at that fresh, colorful palette! We have our tomato plant rockin’ and I am so excited for my own produce a little later this summer!

First step: remove the corn from the cob. I did this with my Santoku knife, because I misplaced my kernel cutter.  No worries, new one on the way! If you love corn off of the cob, you need to go ahead and order you one. For $12, it is so worth it!

Fresh corn, cut off of the cob

Warm a little olive oil in a Non-stick skillet and add your corn. You will want to char it on medium-high heat, stirring often. It will start to pop and brown a bit as it gets closer to done.

While your corn is roasting, drain and rinse your can of black beans. (These can strainers are awesome for this!)

Finely dice your red onion. I love my Santoku knife for this, too! A food chopper speeds it up even more, but I love the pretty, uniform cuts of hand slicing for dips like this!

Chopped red onion

Add those to a large serving bowl (or if you are making ahead, just a good mixing bowl with a lid that you can transfer out of later).

Your corn should look about like this when it’s done. It gets a nice caramel flavor that is so yum! Remove it from the heat and let it cool while you do the rest.

Using a sharp knife (again- Santoku here! Only one to wash!), slice your green onions.

Add those to the bowl.

Go ahead and toss in your black beans if they are fully drained.

Now, let me tell you ’bout my best friend. I hate cutting tomatoes. It takes forever. Just not my thing.

This Close & Cut is a game changer in my kitchen. Total. Game. Changer.

Pampered Chef Close N Cut

Place up to a cup of cherry tomatoes into it at a time (or grapes!).

Close the lid, slice and halve them all in one move! 

This is also amazing for halving chicken breasts uniformly, slicing bagels and so much more! If you don’t have a Close & Cut, let me change your life (ahem- mamas of littles that have to cut everything). Go ahead and order one HERE! You won’t be sorry. Treat yo-self mama!

Tomatoes halved in the Pampered Chef Close N Cut

I wanted my tomatoes diced rather than just halved, so I cut them smaller using my tomato knife.

Add them to your bowl.

Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut up your cilantro and add it to your bowl. You can do as much or as little cilantro as you like. I go heavy! 

Cilantro, tomato, black beans and onions

Go ahead and toss in your charred corn.

Add salt and pepper to taste. I personally love freshly ground pepper for flavor!

Using a citrus press, add the juice from one full lime to your bowl.

Stir well.

Look like the fanciest hostess in the world! This dip is seriously beautiful, and so addictive!

I personally serve it with restaurant-style tortilla chips! It is great on tip of burrito bowls, tacos and so much more! You could also add diced avocado or green pepper for some extra flavor!

Probably the funniest moment of our entire #Disney Probably the funniest moment of our entire #Disney trip 🤣. Jesse was way more her jam. She did eventually hug him when mom and dad joined. Has your kid ever been SO not into something that you thought they would love??

Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to se Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to settle on this one, but it couldn’t be more perfect. My Grandma Tucker- who I loved so very much- was named Emma Marie. My Granddaddy lovingly called her ‘Rie. So this name spelling is a special nod to her. Pronounced like “Emory” but spelled with sentiment. We are so excited to meet this sweet girl in just a couple of months!

They may remember, they may not. But this past wee They may remember, they may not. But this past week of memories is something I will cherish for a lifetime, and has been more than worth every penny we saved and worked hard for to make this happen. If you’re on the fence…just take the trip. You will not regret it 🤍
