Crisped, open-faced tortillas are a delicious canvas for mashed black-eyed peas seasoned with cumin, which are a great substitute for refried beans. Fresh pico de gallo and creamy avocado contrast beautifully with the earthy beans. Look for store-bought pico de gallo in the refrigerated section of the produce section. Feel free to pile on garnishes like fresh cilantro, sliced chili peppers, and a dash of hot sauce.
