Easy chicken burritos

Easy chicken burritos

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts ( I used 4 for my family and we had a lot left over)

1 jar salsa ( I used Natures Basket mild salsa)

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp cumin

Whole wheat 8 inch tortillas

Place chicken in crockpot.  Sprinkle the chili powder, red pepper flakes and cumin over chicken.  If you like spicy food you can add 1 tsp of red pepper flakes.  Pour salsa over chicken.  Place crock pot on low 6-8 hours  or high 4-6 hours.  Shred chicken with a fork.  Microwave tortillas on a plate to warm.  Place one tortilla on a plate and top with chicken.  I also topped with guacamole from recipe 1. You can use the leftovers the next day on a salad.  Enjoy!

1/4 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes

Tomato, cheddar cheese, lettuce for topping

Whole wheat wraps

Brown the turkey in a pan.  Add all spices and water to browned meat.  Place the whole wheat tortillas ( 1 per person) on a plate and microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm.  Fill wrap with the seasoned meat and add desired toppings.   Use leftovers to make a salad the next day.

If you do not want to use whole wheat wraps, try using a romaine lettuce leaf for a taco lettuce wrap! 

Recipe 6: Easy breakfast idea

Eggs or egg beaters and bell pepper

1 bell pepper, cut in half width wise to form a ring

Egg or egg beater

Place a slice of the bell pepper in a pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray.  Crack an egg and place inside the green pepper ring.  Cover pan and cook as you would normally cook an over easy egg. You can flip if you would like.  You can substitute egg beaters if you would like.  Also, enjoy with a piece of whole wheat toast.
