Sue's Tips:
If you have some Texas Caviar remaining after the big game, spoon it onto a whole wheat tortilla that has been spread with avocado. Add some fresh greens. Roll up. Eat. It is a very delicious and satisfying lunch.
When I make Texas Caviar during the summer, when fresh, local tomatoes are available, I chop some up and toss into the Caviar and leave out the mango.
