cowboy caviar bean dip

I went to a BBQ recently and had Cowboy Caviar Bean Dip for the first time and I loved the flavors. I used chips to eat mine but I could see how with some minor changes this could be great on tacos!

So I started experimenting with the original recipe to include ingredients that are more my flavor profile. I recently had the chance to serve my new dish at a party I was hosting and it was a hit with everyone.
