Black-Eyed Pea and Jalapeño Pepper Salsa

by

Texas style Black-Eyed Pea and Jalapeno Pepper Salsa recipeBlack-eyed peas are more than just a lucky charm on New Year’s Day! They are a bean with a pleasant aroma and distinctive taste.  Black eyed peas are low in fat and a great source of potassium, iron, and fiber. Although their interesting shape, white skin, and black eye make them a household favorite at the beginning of the year, this tiny little bean can be pleasantly enjoyed year round.

Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a non-stick or well seasoned skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and bell peppers and cook for 6-7 minutes or until desired tenderness reached.
  3. Mix cayenne pepper and garlic powder with egg whites and add to skillet. Continue cooking on medium heat, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking and prevent sticking.
  4. When egg whites are set but still soft and moist, remove from heat. Transfer to a clean dish and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before assembling burritos.
  5. Place each tortilla on a piece of plastic wrap.
  6. Add black beans to egg mixture and mix well. Divide egg mixture and cheese evenly among tortillas.
  7. Roll burritos, then wrap each in plastic wrap and place in freezer**.
  8. Once frozen, transfer burritos to a freezer bag or other container suitable for long-term freezer storage. For best quality, use within 3 months.
  9. When ready to eat, remove plastic wrap and loosely wrap in paper towel. Microwave on high for 2 to 2½ minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165° F.
Recipe Notes

*  For a spicier burrito, substitute chopped chile peppers (e.g. jalapeno, Serrano) for some of the bell pepper.

**If burritos will be consumed within 3 days, they may be stored in refrigerator instead of freezer.  Reduce re-heating time accordingly.
