What is Cowboy Caviar?

Cowboy Caviar is a beloved Southwestern relish that’s a staple in Texas cuisine. Paisley Farm Foods makes it conveniently available in 24-ounce jars, featuring a vibrant mix of whole kernel corn, pinto beans, black beans, onions, and red peppers. While often used interchangeably, Cowboy Caviar typically includes beans and is dressed in a zesty vinaigrette, whereas Texas Caviar tends to focus more on corn and peppers. Despite its name, there’s no actual caviar involved – just a hearty, flavorful mix that works perfectly as a dip, salad, or in these spectacular taquitos.

How to Make Chicken and Cowboy Caviar Taquitos

Creating these taquitos is a breeze! 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and cumin together by hand until smooth. Mix in shredded chicken and then the shredded cheese. Fold in Texas Caviar and salt and pepper to taste.  Add in fresh cilantro if desired.

Warm each corn tortilla in a skillet for about 15 seconds on each side to make them more pliable and easy to work with.

Divide the filling evenly between the corn tortillas, placing it in a line from edge to edge, and roll up.

Brush the outsides of the tortillas lightly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. 

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the outside of the taquitos are crunchy and start to brown lightly. 

Serve garnished with your favorite toppings. 

You can bake them for a healthier option or fry/air fry them for an extra crispy texture. Either way, they’re delicious!

Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
