Ingredients:

• 1 can black-eyed peas, drained & rinsed
• 1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 large red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 large onion or 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 c. Fat-free Italian dressing
• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. black pepper (or to taste)
• 6 Whole wheat tortillas
• 2 c. roasted chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 c. Shredded mozzarella cheese

Method

Combine black-eyed peas, bell peppers, onion, dressing, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl and let marinate for at least 1/2 hour in the fridge. Arrange the 6 tortillas in single layer on a greased cookie sheet. Using a slotted spoon to avoid excess liquid, place black eyed pea mixture on top of tortillas. Evenly distribute chicken on top of the mixture and then sprinkle with mozzarella. Place under a broiler until cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes: You may substitute cooked ground chicken or turkey for the cubed, roasted chicken.

Number of servings: 6
