black beans

🥗Healthier: edamame

💰Cheaper: canned black beans

Edamame is higher in protein, while canned beans are budget-friendly.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: banana pepper

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Banana peppers are milder and lower in calories, while green bell peppers are often cheaper.

Make a vinaigrette by mixing 1/4 cup olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, cumin, Gator Shake, salt, and lime juice together.

In a large bowl, combine black eyed peas, black beans, corn, green bell pepper, red onion, red bell pepper, black olives, canned chilies, and halved grape tomatoes.

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.

Add chopped cilantro to the mixture and stir well.

If using avocado, add 1 whole avocado to the mixture, but only if you plan to eat it right away; otherwise, add it just before serving.

Pour the vinaigrette over the mixture and stir to combine.

Serve with tortilla chips.
