{Clean Burrito Bowl}

Over the last few months, my husband and I have been transitioning into an even healthier lifestyle by incorporating "clean eating" into our diet.  It's been an incredible learning experience for us both and has really transformed our outlook of what we eat.

One of our new favorite weeknight dinner meals is our "Clean Burrito Bowl".  My husband grew up eating his mom's authentic Mexican/Spanish food {she is an excellent cook}, so this is a HUGE hit with my hubby.  We make this at least once a week, and it's so easy to make that my hubby is able to cook this on his own!

Healthy, "Clean", Guilt-free, and satisfying....You'll be "cleaning" your bowl with my clean burrito bowl recipe!

{Clean Burrito Bowl}

Organic Chicken Breast(s)
Bell Pepper, sliced
Fresh Jalapeno, sliced (optional)
Red Onion, diced
Ezekiel Tortilla (can find at Whole Foods)
Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Fresh Lime
Cilantro
Tomato, chopped
1 Can Reduced Sodium Black Beans, warmed
Avocado, mashed
Herdez Salsa
Mrs. Dash Chili Lime Seasoning

Directions:  Cut chicken breast(s) into thin slivers.  {This helps reduce cooking time and makes it easier to eat in the bowl.}  Cook chicken in skillet sprayed lightly with olive oil spray.  Add bell pepper and jalapeno slices; cook until tender.  Season with Mrs. Dash seasoning (go light on the seasoning).  Toast Ezekiel tortilla on a small skillet until warm.  Place tortilla in bottom of a bowl.  Add all other ingredients on top.  Finally, dollop a small amount of Nonfat Greek Yogurt on top and garnish with fresh lime juice and cilantro!  Voila!

{Oven Roasted Broccoli}

I try to incorporate veggies into my daily diet as much as possible.  Sometimes I get bored with the same ol' way I prepare veggies, whether it be steamed or raw.  My taste buds crave something different.  I ran across a new recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago {what would we do without the wonderful world of Pinterest, right?!}, and I knew I just had to try it.  Oven roasted broccoli.  Sounded strange to me, but also sounded too good to pass up.  I am a crispy freak, so the idea of one of my favorite veggies going from steamed to baked and crispy really caught my attention.  I've made this as a side dish for dinner and also a main course for lunch.  Oh and my hubby absolutely raves over it and doesn't want me to cook broccoli any other way!  It's super super easy to make, check it out!

{Oven Roasted Broccoli}

1 head of broccoli, rinsed & cut into pieces

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Powder

Other seasonings of choice {I am obsessed with "Wing It" seasoning mix}


{Directions}:  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a bowl, mix the broccoli pieces, olive oil and seasonings.  Spread out onto a baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy. 4 servings, 1 WW Pt each {The only points in the recipe come from the olive oil.  Can use less, if desired}

{Note from Mrs. Munana}:  As mentioned above, I use my new favorite seasoning called "Wing It" seasoning mix.  It's the perfect blend of seasoning with a kick of heat.  You can literally put it on everything!  It can be purchased at the Made in Oklahoma store on 41st street across the road from On the Border.
