Healthy Burrtios and Salsa


Salsa:


2 large tomatoes, seeded (don't have to) and diced
½ small sweet onion, like Texas sweet or red, finely chopped
1 to 3 Fresh jalapeños finely chopped (remember fresh jalapenos are much stronger than the pickled ones you get in a can)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 large garlic clove finely chopped (I used 4 last time it was a bit strong)
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all the ingredients and chill for 2 hours before serving

The Burrito:

4 Boneless/skinless chicken breast
1 Red, Orange, Yellow belle pepper
1 sm. onion


Cut in to strips 1 med or large red, yellow and orange bell pepper. Cut one med. onion in to strips set aside break a part the onion:

Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in to cubes
place in large bowl and add:

Cumin, Garlic, and Cayanne pepper to taste (this should be enough to coat the chicken)

What I do is mix the spices and the chicken with my hands to ensure good coverage.

Add enough lemon and lime juice to cover the chicken let sit for about 20 min. Sometimes I add a splash of balsimic vinegar

In a wok with lemon juice cook the peppers and onions until soft remove from wok and place in a bowl

In a wok add some lemon juice with water and cook about 1/4 of the chicken at a time until done.

Serving:

I usually weigh out 4oz servings of the chicken and using 4 breasts allows for leftovers for lunch the next day for me and my wife.

healthy chili is pretty easy... just use extra lean beef, no salt added beans and tomatoes

what i do for chili : brown beef and onions with some garlic and olive oil.. add various beans (whole foods do no salt ones for 69c a can) and one or two cans of tomatoes (i use one crushed, one diced) with no salt, some broth, some chili powder.. and simmer! its easy. You can add some tomato paste also if you wish.

so for your burrito what do you use for the wrap or do you just leave it out?

Thanks for the salsa recipe! You're right, it does look pretty easy. Hopefully I won't butcher the recipe lol.

I found La Fuerza Tortillas at my local food store they are not too bad. They are whole wheat and they have lots of fiber! If you look you can find some healthish/healthy tortillas out there.
