Make 20-24 enchiladas- but can make more with less! Thank you Sherrards for providing the space and care!
In the video, I show you how to make meaty chicken enchiladas. But you can make this a vegetarian meal by substituting sweet potatoes for the chicken. Ingredients: Sweet potatoes Cotija cheese (already crumbed, used cheddar this time) Diced whole onions and 3 garlic cloves (sautéed them in 1 tbsp of olive oil-if you don't cook them it, flavor will be a bit more intense) Dry ingredients: 1 tbsp gluten free flour 2 tbsp of chili powder 2 tbsp of smoked paprika 2 tsp of cumin 2 tsp of onion powder 2 tsp of garlic powder 2 tsp of cinnamon Wet ingredients 2 tbsp olive oil 2 16 oz of vegetable stock or 16 oz cup of water and 2 tsp of better than bouillon (Add up to 4 more cups of water depending on the consistency) 1 tsp of peanut butter 1 tsp of tahini 1/2 tsp of vanilla Yogurt as needed 1/4 tablet of Abuelita's chocolate, you can also use any powered cocoa chocolate and add 3 dates for sweetness. Instructions: 1. Dice sweet potatoes, toss in olive oil, and roast at 425 F until tender. 2. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Use the shallow pan and set on med/high and put in 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of gluten free flour. Cook for for about 5-8 to brown and thicken. Use whisker to get rid of clumps. 3. In the mean time cook corn tortillas in a tsp of oil. 4. Assemble: You can either roll each one or make it into a lasagna or casserole. For portion control, roll so you know how much is in it. Use a baking dish with a lid or use a piece of tin foil to seal and steam. If you get fast enough at the rolling, you can leave tortillas into the sauce. Spread into pan and add 1/4 cup of sweet potato, yogurt, and onions. Then pack them tight next to the prior one. Pour sauce over them for moisture, I use about 1.5-2 cups, and top with cheese. 5. Bake for 15 min. Assemble the second pan while the first cooks.

Staying fit is mostly about being prepared, for example, preparing good and healthy food. Seventy percent of your results have to do with what you put into your body. Choose good nutritious foods or make them. You don't have to spend all day cooking! Get kitchen accessories that save you time, an instapot and/or a chopper can cut your prep and cooking time in half. I'm Latina, so I love delicious Mexican food. I spend most nights remaking comfort foods, and with this Seattle weather, I've been into soups. Growing up, we didn't eat much meat but the food was still delicious! During fitness competition seasons, we over did it in the protein department. Now my focus is somewhere in the middle, with more veggies! They are not just fillers! They have so micronutrients the boost our health. For instance, peppers help improve digestion and they contain a natural compound called capsaicin, which helps alleviate pain because of the amount of neuropeptides released. Any kind of peppers, bell or hot peppers, fight inflammation and increase your metabolism and circulation. Bring on the peppers! The challenging part can be sticking to the serving size- just remind yourself that you will eat again in a couple hours.

Makes 8 servings Ingredients 2 tbsp olive oil 1 yellow onion 4 garlic clove 1 carrot 14.5 oz can organic diced tomatoes 1 cup of cherry tomatoes 1 yellow pepper 1 red pepper 7 oz can salsa verde 5 small Yukon papas (not the baby ones but bigger you a also measure 5 cups) 1 cup of green beans chopped and cleaned Salt pepper to taste 1 lb of turkey or lean beef (My favorite is bison as well) 1 cup of chicken broth Instructions 1. Satay chopped onion to translucence. Add garlic for 1 min, then add papas. Let cook while you chop other veggies. 2. Add veggies to the pan along with green salsa. Add meat then cook for 5 min. 3. Add broth and let cook for another 15 min… so good! Enjoy! Nutritional Value: Calories: 256 Carbs: 34 grams Protein: 17.8 grams Fat: 5.2 grams I'm all about health and self-care. This week, self-care started with delicious, healthy food. My nephews and I made an event out of cooking burritos. This is probably the recipe I am asked about most often. People love these burritos, love that they use up all the leftovers in the fridge, and love that you can make a giant batch and freeze them for a quick meal later!
I love spending time with my family in the kitchen, and this was a fun way to connect with my nephews. We all have busy lives, but we all need to eat! Dividing the work among 3 of us made for light work. Getting to share a meal together was the cherry on top. Find this recipe on the Health Blog, and search for other meal and snack recipes. Quick easy recipe that serves 8

Ingredients: 1 tbsp of Olive oil 1 med finely chopped onion 2 garlic cloves minced For the seasoning: (most times I will make a 3x batch of this and label it Mexican seasonings and use a lot with different meats) 2 tbsp of chili powder (if I make enchiladas I'll do the pods) 2 tbsp of smoked paprika 2 tsp of cumin 2 tsp of onion powder 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 pinche oregano 1 pinch thyme 1 tsp salt and pepper to taste Instructions: 1. In an iron skillet or sauce pan over med-high heat, add olive oil and saute onions until translucent. Then add garlic. 2. Add beef, bison or turkey (I like ground chicken), followed by the rest of the seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes and it should be ready to go. 3. Serve in corn tortillas with lettuce tomatoes and cilantro. We enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day with rice and beans or on top of sweet potatoes- all are delicious! For more veggie combos, I added red, grean, and yellow peppers, zucchini, or chayote. It is a good go-to recipe we enjoy every week. |
