Ingredients:

Serving

1 (16-oz) can black-eyed peas
1/8 tsp chili pepper flakes
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano, divided
10 oz skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp vegetable broth
5 whole wheat tortillas
10 cup shredded romaine lettuce (about 8 oz)
3 chopped tomatoes (about 14 oz)
1 chopped red onion (about 4 oz)
3 tbsp (1 oz) shredded cotija cheese or low-fat mozzarella

Directions:

Place peas or beans in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water and chili flakes; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, or until beans are tender. Remove from heat, and cool slightly, retaining cooking liquid.
Place bean mixture in a blender; pulse until beans are crushed but not pureed. Stir in cumin and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place chicken breasts in a heatproof skillet. Drizzle lemon juice and broth over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining oregano. Cover pan and bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes, or until juices run clear. Cool slightly; cut into thin strips or shred by hand.
Turn oven down to 200°. Wrap tortillas with foil and place on baking sheet; bake for 15 minutes, or until warm and steamy.
Assemble tacos: Spread each tortilla with black eyed pea puree, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and diced onion. Add strips of chicken, sprinkle with cheese, and serve.
