We’ve discovered this is a pretty popular dish here in the longhorn state. Everyone has their favorite version, and there are plenty.

It makes a great side dish on its own or served as a dip with chips. We’ve enjoyed versions that included fresh corn or even mangoes, so feel free to experiment with your own additions.
