Black-eyed peas are packed with protein and fiber, and this easy burrito bowl is a delicious weeknight meal!
Ever since this recipe happened, my love for black-eyed peas has been rekindled. I’ve been throwing them into all types of dishes and have been wanting to share this recipe for a while now. Today is finally the day.
Let me just say that I do love Chipotle every once in a while, but as far as burrito bowls go, I prefer this homemade version.
You can throw all of these ingredients together and have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. I like to prepare a batch on the weekend and then save the rest for meals throughout the week. You can easily double this recipe if needed, which you might want to consider once I share my Recipe Redux post on the 22nd of the month using all of the same ingredients, but in a totally different way. UPDATE: Use leftover ingredients in this Black-Eyed Pea & Brown Rice Burger recipe!
Prefer a grain-free version of this burrito bowl? No problem! The black-eyed pea and veggie mixture is just as good topped with a fried egg, salsa, avocado, and fresh cilantro.
