Here’s an easy, healthy Superbowl party snack idea from Tostitos. The recipe is very simple, and prep time is only about 15 minutes.
Southwestern Caviar

2 (15 oz cans) black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped green onions, bulbs and green tops
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
juice of one lime
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded, and chopped ( for a spicier dip leave the seeds in)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon of salt

In a large bowl toss all the ingredients until evenly mixed. Serve with Tostitos(tm) Scoops, or other Frito-Lay chips for dipping.

When you’re planning Superbowl party food you have to think hearty, spicy, and easy to eat. Your party guests will have one eye on the TV, and one arm up in the air cheering on their favorite team. Try to focus on appetizers, and snack foods for your Superbowl party menu.
