Hi everyone! I’m starting something new — each Friday night I will be introducing you to the cuisine from across the world. Tonight I will start off with one of my favorite locations – Mexico, next week is the Mediterranean. Both offer such fresh and delicious flavors, I love the Mediterranean for its fresh veggies and wonderful meat dishes and Mexican for its fresh avocados, salsas and spicy flavors. Here are the two dishes I picked up along my travels and over the years added to them and gave them my own spin. Let’s start with the stove top and my Mexican red pepper, mango, avocado and chicken burritos.
Shopping list:
Your ingredients
4 fresh organic chicken breasts
1 ripe mango
2 red peppers
2 ripe avocados
olive oil
cinnamon
pam
Whole wheat or tortillas with at least 4 grams of fiber
hot sauce of your liking (my favorite is challulla)
We have the ingredients now lets get it prepped
prepped ingredients
Cut the peppers into spears and deseed
Cut the mango into cubes
Cut the avocados then cut in half remove the pit, then cut long ways into 4 slices then short way in half
Cut the Chicken into cubes
Now lets cook…
Cooking peppers
In a large frying pan with pam, add the peppers and 2 tblsp. of olive oil and 2 dashes of cinnamon, let cook until they are slightly blackened stirring occasionally.
In another pan, add the chicken and cover. Make sure the chicken gets thoroughly cooked!
Now go back to the peppers and add the avocados and mango and stir all together adding the hot sauce until you get it to your liking.
Add the chicken and stir all together and let sit on a low heat for 20 minutes so all the flavors come together.
On one of the burners carefully place your tortillas on a medium flame and cook for 30 seconds on each side.
Simmer ingredients together
Then scoop in the chicken mix. I like to have some black beans on the side for a little more of an authentic feel, and a little more fiber never hurt any one.
Enjoy your healthy dinner!
Serve and Enjoy! Oh and these make for probably my favorite leftovers so you can make a little extra.
Cooking at home is fun and healthier than going out, you always know whats in your food. The chef will be back next week with two quick minute recipes so until then, Happy eating!
Wow...so delicious!
