Meat Free Monday: Black-Eyed Peas and Tortillas

Healthy Eating· Recipes

Today’s meat-free recipe comes from an old high school friend of mine, Kim, who I recently got back in touch with via Facebook (I LOVE Facebook by the way….although hubby wants to start Facebook Anonymous (FA) for people like me.  Who wants to join?).  Anyway, Kim just had a baby but still found the time to send an old high school friend a recipe to try for her blog.

So if you’ve been following along, you may already know the hubby doesn’t like Mexican food.  But I made this thinking that it really isn’t that Mexican.  No taco seasoning, no refried beans.  So maybe, just maybe, he’ll like it.  And you know what he said?  He said, “It’s pretty good” AND “I’d eat it again if you made it less spicy.”   Woo-hoo!  That’s good to hear because I liked it too!  Great flavor.  Instead of using the tomatoes with green chilies next time, maybe I’ll try the tomatoes with cilantro and lime to cut down on the heat.

Besides this being a great tasting dish, it also had few ingredients, was really easy to make and didn’t take long at all.

Now my kids on the other hand still have not ventured into the whole bean world.  I really should have introduced beans to them earlier, before they started forming opinions, but I really didn’t start eating beans myself until recently.  So this is what they chose to eat tonight instead:

The tortilla is just filled with cheese, and that’s a dollop of sour cream in case you were wondering.  Adorable plates were bought here.

Anyway, on behalf of the adults in my family, thank you Kim for a delicious recipe that I will be adding to my dinner rotation!

Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent becaus Happy New Year! I’ve been a little absent because I started the year off with a cold that left me tired and unmotivated. But I’m feeling better and starting my goal tracking a little late. I thought it would be helpful to combine all our goal trackers into one file for easy downloading and printing. The link to the all-in-one file can be found in our profile @everydayroadtohealthy ☝🏼. Swipe to see January printed at 75% and taped inside my planner. I’m hoping this works better for me this year!
💚 Start where you are. 🤎
