~ Recipe ~

Preheat oven

Combine tomato sauce, water,

 and chili powder and bring to a boil

Bring heat to low, and add in small diced

onion and chicken, and cook for about 5 minutes.

Spray your pan with a non-stick spray

Sprinkle cheese into each tortilla, add chicken,

then roll the enchilada.

Once you have placed each one in your pan, cover

in tomato sauce, and sprinkle remaining cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.

Healthy Alterations: #fixthedish

• Use a natural non stick spray, or use extra virgin olive oil
• Healthier and contains no unnecessary chemicals
• Don't use as much cheese, and use a white cheddar, not pre-shreeded block of cheese!
• Of course, cheese is good for flavor, but using so much cheese adds extra calories. Use a cheese without a dye so you don't consume a chemical dye(even annatto, a vegetable based dye, can be bad for you!) Shred the cheese yourself, because packaged and pre-shredded cheese are coating in preservatives.
•  Serve with a whole serving of fruits or vegetables

Chicken Hummus Veggie Wrap 

On the lighter side:

1 Whole Wheat Tortilla

Organic Spicy Hummus 

Chicken

Cucumbers

Tomatoes

Spinach

*Protein, Vegetables, Carbohydrate*

*under 5 minutes to prepare*

3 Good Choices:

• The cucumbers and tomatoes used in this are fresh from our local farmer's market.  It is best to eat produce as soon as you can after they have been picked, because the moment produce is picked it begins to lose its nutritional value. Go green at your local farmers market!
• Using certified organic hummus is a great alternate to any other hummus that has added preservatives just to improve shelf life. Experiment tasting different kinds of organic hummus!
• A whole wheat tortilla is the best choice to make, as white tortillas are stripped of it's fiber to obtain a white grain. "If it's white, don't bite!"

Healthy eating doesn't have to be 'bland' or 'tasteless'. These dishes are all natural and full of flavor! My mom and I always have fun making enchiladas for dinner, though it may be a bit longer than other meals to make, the result is so rewarding! They are one of my favorite dinners, we usually eat them with sauteed green beans. The chicken hummus veggie wrap is great on the go! Make it ahead of time and pack it as a lunch.  The possibilities of what you can do with your cooking and creativity are endless.
