Black-Eyed Pea Salsa

1 can black-eyed peas
1 4-oz can mild green chiles
1/2 bunch green onions
1 tomato
1 tbsp lime juice
1/8 tsp salt
Tabasco
Tortilla chips

Hands-on Time: About 15-20 minutes

The black-eyed peas give this salsa protein and make it more filling than traditional tomato-based salsas, so you'll eat fewer empty calories in the form of tortilla chips. You can also use this as a filling for a "fresco-style" burrito.

Drain the black-eyed peas well and pour them into a small serving bowl. Add the chiles. Wash the green onions and slice about half the bunch into small pieces. Add the onions to the mixture. Wash and slice one tomato and discard the seeds. Dice the tomato and add it to the mixture. Add the lime juice, salt, and Tabasco to taste and stir well. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
